Tignanello was first launched in 1971 and quickly gained recognition for defying traditional winemaking conventions. It was one of the pioneers of the "Super Tuscan" category, which refers to high-quality Tuscan wines that incorporate non-indigenous grape varieties and innovative winemaking techniques. The wine is named after the Tignanello vineyard, which is located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region in Tuscany. Tignanello is mainly made from Sangiovese, the typical grape variety of Tuscany, which is blended with other, non-traditional grape varieties, in particular Cabernet Sauvignon. Tignanello is often aged for a certain period of time in French oak barrels, which gives the wine additional aromas and complexity.
