Tignanello 2022

Description

The Tenuta (Estate) Tignanello is located in the centre of the Chianti Classico appellation, between the Greve and Pesa river basins. The estate's classic wines, Solaia and Tignanello, have been named by the international press as among the most influential wines in Italy's viticultural history.
The Antinori family has expressed its beliefs and working philosophy in these vineyards more than anyplace else: to blend tradition and modernity with wines that are firmly and truly related to their places of origin.
Tignanello is a 14-month-old mix of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Cabernet Franc matured in French and Hungarian oak.
The Tignanello 2019 is characterised by a deep ruby red colour with notes of strawberries and pomegranate that give way to exquisite aromas of apricots and peaches, as well as vanilla, dried flowers, chocolate, and nutmeg. Coffee, caramel, and aromatic Mediterranean herbs round out the scent. The palate is smooth and mouth-filling, with silky, lively tannins that lend vibrancy, sapidity, and a long flavour profile. The aftertaste has roasted coffee and dark chocolate flavours.

The Tenuta Tignanello estate is located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, Tuscany, on the rolling hills between the Greve and Pesa valleys. It covers 319 hectares of land, of which 130 hectares are vineyards.

The company's vineyards include two treasures: the Tignanello vineyard and the Solaia vineyard, which extend over the same hillside on soils derived from Pliocene marine marl with limestone and schist and enjoy warm days and cool nights during the growing season. These two vineyards produce Solaia and Tignanello wines, two wines capable of initiating what is known as the renaissance of Italian wine. Read more

Wine making	For all three varieties, fermentation was conducted at an average temperature of 27 °C, without ever exceeding 31 °C, in order to preserve as much as possible the olfactory sensations and typicality of the fruit. As in previous vintages, great care was taken in the cellar during the fermentation and extraction phases, with more frequent but less intense delestage and pumping over to obtain the best results in terms of colour and tannin.
Aging	After racking, carried out once alcoholic fermentation was complete, the wines were placed in new oak barriques, with the successful intention of malolactic fermentation by the end of the year. They were then blended, rested for about 12 months in barriques, racked and finally, after careful tasting barrique by barrique, the wine was bottled.
