Tignanello 1998 - Antinori

It was the first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques, the first modern red wine blended with non-traditional varieties (such as Cabernet), and among the first red wines in Chianti Classico not to use white grapes. Tignanello is a milestone. It is produced with a selection of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The label was designed by Silvio Coppola in 1974, for the release of the 1971 vintage. It was at a 1973 dinner at the Castello della Sala that the name of Coppola came out. Graphic designer and designer, famous for his essential lamps, rigorous furniture, but also the covers of many Feltrinelli books, Coppola was the right name for that work. LAFIRMA: The Marquis Piero Antinori, current Honorary President, decided to have his father, Niccolò Antinori, sign the Tignanello label as a symbol of gratitude for the trust shown in him.
