Description
Tignanello Antinori is one of the most famous Italian wines that have made the history of Italian wine over the last 40 years. The first vintage produced was in 1970, and since 1971 this wine has been called Tignanello. This is simply the name of the land, extending over 57 hectares, magnificently exposed to the southwest with calcareous and tuffaceous components. The grapes are harvested manually and at different times depending on the degree of ripeness of the different varieties and parcels, brought to the cellar for sorting the bunches before vinification. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled truncated conical tanks to optimize the skin surface in contact with the must during the fermentation process. The duration and temperature of this process change every year and for all varieties depending on the degree of ripeness and the characteristics of the vintage. The wine is separated from the skins and aged in French and Hungarian oak barriques of first and second passage for 12 months before blending and bottling.
