The Antinori family has been committed to the art of winemaking for over six centuries. All throughout its history, twenty-six generations long, the Antinori family has managed the business directly making innovative and sometimes bold decisions while upholding the utmost respect for traditions and the environment.

Tignanello is produced exclusively from the vineyard of the same name. It was the first Sangiovese wine to be aged in small oak barrels, the first modern red wine to use such non-traditional varieties as Cabernet in the blend, and among the first red wines from the Chianti Classico area to be produced without white grapes. The wine was originally called "Chianti Classico Riserva Vigneto Tignanello". In 1971 it became a Tuscan red table wine rather than a Chianti Classico, and was called Tignanello.
