Tignanello is absolutely a wine that you want to get in the cellar on release. The 2021 scores the same and higher than icon vintages of years gone by and is significantly cheaper at current release price.
With Antonio Galloni's sky high score as the only critic rating thus far, it is very exciting to think of incoming responses from other Tignanello fans. In any case, Galloni is confident that the 2021 "has all the pedigree to become a modern benchmark for Tignanello and Italian wine more broadly ... it is the total harmony of the wine that makes the strongest and deepest impression". Might a higher, potentially perfect score tantalisingly lie in its future?

What the critics say:
"The 2021 Tignanello is every bit as impressive from bottle as it was from barrel and then just after bottling. Silky and polished, with exceptional finesse, the 2021 has all the pedigree to become a modern benchmark for Tignanello and Italian wine more broadly. Bright dark red fruit, blood orange, spice, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco all soar out of the glass, framed by a discreet touch of French oak that adds raciness. In some vintages, the elements are discernible. In 2021, it is the total harmony of the wine that makes the strongest and deepest impression. The 2021 spent 17 months in wood, three months in neutral oak during the malolactic fermentation and then 14 months (50% new) for the rest of its aging. Superb."
