Tignanello 2005 & 2014 — Two Mature Super Tuscans Worth Your Time
🇮🇹好少有酒好似 Tignanello咁，喺意大利酒入面佔咁重要位置。Antinori侯爵家族喺1970年代初創製，佢係Chianti Classico 最早唔再加白葡萄嘅紅酒之一，亦係第一支用Sangiovese做主、用法國橡木桶陳年，同埋第一款將 Sangiovese 同 Cabernet Sauvignon、Cabernet Franc 混釀嘅酒🍇。佢促成咗Super Tuscan運動，但始終忠於托斯卡納根源——優雅、有細膩而帶粉感的單寧同精緻質感。
酒來自Tenuta Tignanello一個山坡葡萄園，土壤富含石灰岩、marine marlstone、schist,同galestro，加上較高海拔同夜涼氣溫，有助保持新鮮感同香氣精準度💗，同時令葡萄充分均衡成熟。結果Sangiovese清新有力，而Cabernet Sauvignon及Cabernet Franc則帶來深度、顏色同結構。
宜家兩款成熟嘅年份做推廣，優惠至8月10日：
👑Tignanello 2005：顏色深沉、充滿個性，展現黑櫻桃、煙燻、泥土同香料氣息。佢已經進入好靚嘅階段，深度同個性同樣出色
👑Tignanello 2014：優雅和諧，香氣迷人，味道細緻，整體平衡自然。一支有氣度、帶靜謐愉悅感嘅酒
2005同2014兩個年份嘅 Tignanello 而家都正喺飲用佳期，同時仍然有繼續陳年發展嘅潛力🍷。呢啲酒適合慢慢細味——令一個夜晚感覺更加從容有品味。
如果你一直想試呢支具有里程碑意義嘅Super Tuscan，而家就係合適時機。
🇮🇹Few wines hold the same place in the story of Italian wine as Tignanello. Created by Marchesi Antinori in the early 1970s, it was among the first reds in Chianti Classico to drop white grapes, the first Sangiovese-based wine aged in barriques, and the first to blend Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc🍇. In doing so it helped give rise to the Super Tuscan movement, yet it has always remained true to its Tuscan roots — elegant, with fine chalky tannins and a refined texture.
The wine comes from a hillside vineyard on the Tenuta Tignanello estate. Its limestone-rich soils of marine marlstone, schist, and galestro, together with higher altitude and cool night temperatures, help preserve freshness and aromatic precision💗 while allowing the grapes to reach full, balanced ripeness. The result is Sangiovese with lift and definition, while Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc add depth, color, and structural backbone.
We are currently featuring two mature vintages at special prices until Aug 10:
👑Tignanello 2005 : Dark and full of character, offering black cherry, smoke, earth and spice. It has settled into a beautiful stage of its life, with depth and personality in equal measure.
👑Tignanello 2014 : A study in elegance and harmony. The aromatics are captivating, the flavours finely drawn, and the overall balance effortless. A wine of real poise and quiet pleasure.
Both the 2005 and 2014 Tignanello are drinking wonderfully now, while still holding the potential to develop further🍷. These are bottles that invite unhurried enjoyment — the kind that make an evening feel a little more considered.
If you have been meaning to spend time with this landmark Super Tuscan, this feels like a particularly good moment to do so.

The 2005 Tignanello is just beginning to enter the early part of its drinking window, although it clearly has enough stuffing to drink well for another 20 years, if not longer. Smoke, graphite, plums, earthiness, black cherries and spices take shape in the glass, but it is the wine pure power and intensity - both remarkable for a vintage that was considered light at the outset - that truly stand out. The style is dark, brooding and muscular, with notable density and tons of personality. The wildness of Sangiovese comes through loud and clear. Although not the most polished Tignanello, the 2005 is certainly not lacking in personality

HK$1700 ▷ HK$1600
The highlight in this range, the exquisite 2014 Tignanello is all about persistence and understated class. The aromatics alone are captivating. Sculpted, finely delineated flavors add to the wine's vivid personality. Because of the challenges posed by the growing season, the blend leans more heavily toward Cabernet Sauvignon than is typically the case. Above all else, though, the 2014 is all about harmony, and there is plenty of that here. Unfortunately, production is down 30%.
