This \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e harmonises Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc into an elegant and enveloping profile. In the glass, it displays an intense ruby red colour with purple highlights, revealing a rich and layered aromatic profile. On the nose, clear notes of cherry, ripe morello cherry and pomegranate seeds emerge, accompanied by hints of violet and fresh \u003cstrong\u003ebalsamic sensations\u003c\/strong\u003e, finishing with elegant touches of vanilla and candyfloss. On the palate, it is dynamic and well balanced, with \u003cstrong\u003esweet and flavourful tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that provide freshness and a prolonged gustatory persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt originates from the eponymous vineyard of the Tignanello Estate, in the heart of Chianti Classico. The rows stretch between the valleys of the Greve and Pesa rivers at an altitude between 350 and 400 metres, benefiting from a favourable south-west exposure. The \u003cstrong\u003ehilly climate\u003c\/strong\u003e, characterised by warm days and cool nights, encourages consistent ripening and preserves aromatic integrity. The complex soils rest on \u003cstrong\u003ePliocene marine marls\u003c\/strong\u003e rich in limestone and schist, further enriched by tuffaceous elements and the typical \u003cstrong\u003ealberese and galestro rocks\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the wine a natural balance between fresh drive and structural density.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are carefully selected and harvested, with each batch vinified separately. \u003cstrong\u003eFermentation in truncated conical\u003c\/strong\u003e steel tanks involves targeted maceration to extract colour and manage the elegance of the tannic texture, determining the ideal moment for racking through daily tastings. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation in wood to enhance its complexity. Ageing continues in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, mostly new, with a small proportion of Hungarian oak, for about thirteen months. A final \u003cstrong\u003erest in bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e for about a year refines its structure before release.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tignanello from the \u003cstrong\u003eMarchesi Antinori\u003c\/strong\u003e family has revolutionised Chianti Classico: it is among the first \u003cstrong\u003eSangiovese wines aged in barrique\u003c\/strong\u003e blended with Cabernet. Produced only in the best vintages, it boasts an iconic label designed in 1974, featuring the motto “Te Duce Proficio” and the signature of Niccolò Antinori. A legend of \u003cstrong\u003eToscana IGT\u003c\/strong\u003e, the 2023 vintage received 96 points from James Suckling and 97 from Wine Advocate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tignanello (Antinori)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46299530690731,"sku":"60735","price":78.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/marchesi-antinori-tignanello-0-375l-2023_60735_1_ddf8cadb-045b-4316-ae78-33dd1777bdda.webp?v=1779380800","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-uk\/products\/marchesi-antinori-tignanello-0-375l-2023","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
