Antinori Tignanello IGT

Grape Variety: Sangiovese,Cabernet Sauvignon

 

Alcohol: 14.5% Vol

 

Vinification: During fermentation in truncated conical tanks, each individual must was macerated on the skins giving particular emphasis to preserving aromas, extracting color, and encouraging desirable tannins that are supple and elegant.Racking was performed after rigorous daily sampling and tasting. Once separated from the skins, the wine was transferred into small oak barrels where malolactic fermentation took place,accentuating aromatic finesse and complexity. The wine was left to age for approximately 14 to 16 months in French and Hungarian oak barrels, in a combination of new and second-fill barrels. After this initial period of aging, the final blend was made and then completed barrel aging. Under went an additional 12-month period of aging in the bottle before being released.

 

Colour: Deeply intense ruby red color.


Bouquet: On the nose, it's remarkably complex with notes of ripe red fruit, black cherries, sour cherries that merge with sweet hints of vanilla, mint and delicate sensations of white Pepper and myrtle.

 

Taste: Its palate is rich and well-balanced: supple velvety tannins are sustained by exceptional freshness that give the wine length,elegance and persistence of flavors.
