Chianti Classico Riserva "Marchese Antinori" Tenuta Tignanello
This is an historic label of the Antinori family, and since the 2011 vintage it has been produced with grapes exclusively from the Tignanello vineyard. It’s made almost entirely with Sangiovese with a small percentage of other complementary varietals. It's a wine that fully expresses the quality and elegance of the Sangiovese grapes grown in this area. Expressive on the nose with fresh notes of red fruit that lead over to floral hints of mallow and lavender. The rich bouquet is accented by sweet notes of white chocolate that give rise to piquant spicy aromas. Entry on the palate is smooth and mouth filling, followed by elegant flavours with vibrant tannins that express the typical energy of the vineyards of origin. The finish is long, flavourful and persistent, echoing notes of white pepper, cocoa powder, and flowers.
Antinori
The Antinori family has been involved in the production of wine since 1385. During this entire long period, through twenty seven generations, the family has always directly managed this work with courageous and, at times, innovative decisions. Antinori revolutionized winemaking in their home region of Chianti, where they own some of the best vineyard sites, and were singularly responsible for the creation of the SuperTuscan category. Antinori have a long and established history of tradition and innovation, as well as supreme quality, and is among the world’s most respected producers.
