Antinori Tignanello 2017 – Intensely ruby red in colour, Tignanello 2017 is remarkable on the nose for its complexity. Notes of ripe red fruits such as cherries preserved in spirits, sour cherries, raspberries and plums complement delicate spicy aromas of cloves and liquorice; sweet balsamic notes of mint and chocolate complete its complex bouquet. On the palate, it is rich, mouth-filling and vibrant with supple velvety tannins. Its lengthy finish and persistent aftertaste bring back aromatic notes perceived on the nose.

product description

Antinori Tignanello 2017

Vineyards

Antinori Tignanello is produced exclusively from the vineyard of the same name. A parcel of 57 hectares with limestone-rich soils and a southwestern exposure at 350-400 meters above sea level. The first modern red wine to use non-traditional varieties.

The wine, originally called "Chianti Classico Riserva Vigneto Tignanello", a Chianti Classico Riserva from the Tignanello vineyard. Produced for the first time from a single vineyard in 1970. The blend contained 20% of Canaiolo and 5% of Trebbiano and Malvasia. Both white grapes, and the wine aged in small oak barrels.

Winemaking and Maturation

Climatic trends for the 2017 vintage required focused efforts both in the vineyard, during harvesting operations, and in the cellar, upon arrival of the grapes, where sorting and initial production phases were critical to achieve an optimal final result.

Once the wine was run off the skins, malolactic fermentation began in small oak barrels to enhance the finesse and complexity of the aromas. The ageing process, each vineyard lot and each grape variety were fermented separately and then blended. The wine was then transferred to French and Hungarian oak barrels, partially new and partially second-fill, for a period of 14-16 months.
