The Tenuta Tignanello winery is located in the heart of the Chianti-Classico region on the gentle hills between the valleys of the Greve and Pesa rivers, 30 kilometres south of Florence in the Italian region of Tuscany. It was acquired in the middle of the 19th century by the famous Antinori family, steeped in tradition. In the 1970s, Tenuta Tignanello was the ideal location for Marchesi Antinori's research and development activities in viticulture. The vineyards cover a total of 130 hectares of vines. The two most famous vineyards are Tignanello with 57 hectares in an open south-east location and Solaia with 20 hectares of vineyards immediately adjacent to it,
