Presentazione della cantina

La Famiglia Antinori si dedica alla produzione vinicola da più di seicento anni: da quando, nel 1385, Giovanni di Piero Antinori entrò a far parte dell' Arte Fiorentina dei Vinattieri. In tutta la sua lunga storia, attraverso 26 generazioni, la famiglia ha sempre gestito direttamente questa attività con scelte innovative e talvolta coraggiose ma sempre mantenendo inalterato il rispetto per le tradizioni e per il territorio.

Oggi la società è diretta dal Marchese Piero Antinori, con il supporto delle tre figlie Albiera, Allegra e Alessia, coinvolte in prima persona nelle attività aziendali.

Tradizione, passione ed intuizione sono state le qualità trainanti che hanno condotto Antinori ad affermarsi come uno dei principali produttori italiani di vini di qualità.

Ogni annata, ogni terreno, ogni idea che si voglia mettere in atto è un nuovo inizio, una nuova ricerca di margini qualitativi sempre più elevati. Come ama dire il Marchese Piero: “ le antiche radici giocano un ruolo importante nella nostra filosofia, ma non hanno mai inibito il nostro spirito innovativo ”.

Vinexus - Infinity of Wine Duitsland Very intense ruby red colour. Nicely expressed varietal aromas with hints of black berry fruit. The palate is weighty, dense and vibrant with complex structure thanks to support of the acidity. Long and lingering with hints of chocolate, coffee and marmalade in the aftertaste. The beautifully handled tannin from the wine and wood blend making Tignanello a very complex, stylish and sophisticated wine.Tignanello is made exclusively from the vineyard of the same name which is situated on limestone and tufaceous soil on the Tignanello estate covering 47 south-west-facing hectares at altitudes between 350 and 400 metres a.s.l.. This was the first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques, the first modern red wine blended with non-traditional varieties like Cabernet, and on e of the first red wines in Chianti not to use white grapes. Tignanello, originally Chianti Classico Riserva vigneto Tignanello was first made from a single vineyard in the 1970 vintage, when it contained 20% Canaiolo and 5% Trebbiano and Malvasia and was aged in small oak barrels. With the 1971 vintage it became a Tuscan table wine and was named Tignanello. In 1975 the percentage of white grapes was definitively removed. Since 1982 the composition has remained the same. Tignanello is only made in the best vintage years, and therefore was not made in 1972, 1973,1974, 1976, 1984, 1992 and 2002.The weather conditions during the harvest made very careful selection of the best grapes necessary, especially in the case of the Sangiovese. As in previous years, great care was taken during the fermentation and extraction phases, carrying out more frequent but less intense délestage and pumping over to obtain the best results for colour and tannins. For all three varieties, fermentation took placed at an average temperature of 27°, and an absolute maximum of 31°, to preserve as greatly as possible the aromas and typical features of the fruit. From the beginning the must showed great complexity and above all (in the case of the Sangiovese) very typical varietal aromas and elegance. After devatting, at the end of alcoholic fermentation, the wines were placed in new oak barriques where malolactic fermentation took place by the end of the year. They were then blended and aged for 12 months in barriques, racked and then tasted barrique by barrique before bottling. After another year ageing in the bottles the wine was released for sale.A rainy autumn and a winter with fairly low average temperatures and some snow, resulted in later development of foliage (12-15 days) than last year. As if to compensate for this delay, favourable spring weather conditions enabled the vines to develop about 10 days earlier than average. The months of June, July and August were unusually cool with average temperatures of 24°C and plenty of rain in August. This created some problems for the ripening process and the subsequent harvest but the grapes harvested were healthy and completely ripe, up to the standard of recent vintage years and rich in potential.

VinoeDintorniEnoteca Colore rosso rubino molto intenso. Profumi varietali ben espressi, con note di frutta scura . In bocca è denso, fitto ed intenso con una trama strutturale complessa, grazie anche al livello acidico che lo sostiene. Il vino è lungo e persistente ed escono, nel retrogusto, note di cioccolato, caffè e confettura di agrumi. Il tannino del vino è ottimamente impostato e si fonde molto bene con quello del legno, rendendo Tignanello ricco di complessità, finezza ed eleganza.
