Description
Tignanello, produced by the Antinori winery, is a still red wine that enjoys the Tuscan IGT designation. It is an unconventional wine, considering that it was the first to be blended using non-traditional methods, without the inclusion of white grapes. The grapes come from vines that are 85% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Cabernet Franc. Careful climatic conditions are required for all three varieties during the harvest. Fermentation takes place at a temperature of around 27 degrees Celsius, never rising above 31 degrees, so as to preserve the organoleptic properties of the three grapes. The fermentation is initially alcoholic, after which the wines are placed in new oak barrels, where a second malolactic fermentation takes place to reduce acidity. Aging takes place in barriques for 12 months. After this period, the wine is bottled, where it rests for another year. Tignanello is born in Tuscany, more precisely in the vineyard of the same name, located on the Tigneto estate at an altitude of between 350 and 400 meters, covering an area of over 47 hectares. The soil is calcareous in origin, with numerous tuffaceous components, which contribute to giving the wine its unique characteristics, including its longevity (approximately 25 years). The validity of Tignanello wine has also been recognized by Bibenda and Gambero Rosso, who awarded it 5 bunches and three glasses respectively, synonymous with wine excellence.

Mais c'est au XVIe siècle qu'Alessandro Antinori, banquier et négociant, fait connaître le vin de ses domaines en Italie et à l'étranger, voyageant de Lyon aux Flandres, de l'Espagne à Alger.
Le vin est resté la passion et l'activité principale de la famille au point qu'en 1898, la "Fattoria dei Marchesi Lodovico e Piero Antinori" a été fondée par les deux frères Lodovico et Piero, fils du marquis Niccolò - descendant direct de ce Niccolò qui, en 1506, avait acheté le Palazzo Antinori et qui avait déjà beaucoup fait pour faire connaître les vins toscans dans le monde entier et en faire un produit de haute qualité. En 2023, au début du mois de février, Villa Antinori Toscana IGT 2019 a été nommé troisième vin au monde, le seul vin italien, dans le Top 10 Values 2022 du Wine Specator : la liste des 10 vins qui, selon le magazine américain, représentent l'excellence mondiale en termes de rapport qualité-prix.
