Producer's Description In 1978, the Marquis Piero Antinori «wrote" story showing a new wine, Tignanello 1971 harvest. The history of the matter lies in the courageous decision of the great Tuscan winemaker to blend a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon, an alien variety for the region, the local Sangiovese. His move was "downgraded" from the Tignanello wine with Geographical Indication (IGT) in a simple table wine. But the wine was excellent. Both excellent in world trade named Super Tuscan and let be a wine with no right to petition its geographical origin.
The story from there got her way. The other winemakers in the region have realized the unique opportunity to upgrade the quality of their region and imitated the Marquis.
