Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva Tenuta Tignanello Antinori

Marchese Antinori has a ruby red colour. On the nose, intense notes of marasca cherry, violet and lavender alternate with small bloody sensations, typical of Sangiovese, and spicy hints of tobacco and leather; delicate notes of vanilla and cocoa powder complete the bouquet. On the palate it is enveloping, full, with an excellent compactness of the tannic texture and a good liveliness that make it long and persistent. Excellent aftertaste characterized by red fruits and licorice.

• Method: Upon arrival in the cellar, the bunches were de-stemmed and subsequently softly pressed; the must was transferred to stainless steel tanks where the alcoholic fermentation took place, which lasted about a week. The maceration was managed with very delicate pumping over and délestage in order to guarantee an intense extraction but at the same time capable of preserving the elegance and sweetness of the tannins. At the end of the malolactic fermentation, which took place spontaneously by the end of the year, the assembled wine continued the aging period in French and Hungarian oak barriques for about a year. The Marchese Antinori was then bottled and aged in the bottle for a further 12 months.
• Pairings: It goes well with game, roasts, aged cheeses. Also appreciated as an aperitif and after dinner.
