On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe red fruits, undergrowth, and sweet spices, while the \u003cstrong\u003eround palate\u003c\/strong\u003e reveals well-integrated tannins with hints of oak and chocolate. The tasting concludes with a lingering finish, ideal for pairing with \u003cstrong\u003ered meats\u003c\/strong\u003e, game, and cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes grow at the \u003cstrong\u003eTignanello Estate\u003c\/strong\u003e, situated between the Pesa and Greve valleys within the Chianti Classico region. The rows benefit from a south-westerly exposure at an altitude of between 350 and 400 metres. The soil has a limestone profile enriched with tuff, \u003cstrong\u003egalestro\u003c\/strong\u003e, and alberese rock. These specific \u003cstrong\u003epedological characteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e imbue the wine with a pronounced structural density and promote remarkable longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bunches are manually selected, respecting the optimal timing for each variety. \u003cstrong\u003eAlcoholic fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e takes place at controlled temperatures to keep the delicate primary aromas intact, utilising measured délestage and pump-overs. The process continues in small \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, where malolactic fermentation is completed. The maturation phase takes place in the same containers for approximately fourteen months, allowing the aromatic profile to evolve with elegance. A final \u003cstrong\u003eresting period\u003c\/strong\u003e perfects the structure before it is released to the market.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1971 from the historic Tignanello vineyard of the \u003cstrong\u003eMarchesi Antinori\u003c\/strong\u003e family, this iconic \u003cstrong\u003edry red wine\u003c\/strong\u003e revolutionised oenology as the first Tuscan blend to exclude the use of white grapes.
