Tignanello 2015 Jéroboam - Antinori

The climatic conditions of the harvest period ensured the possibility of harvesting the grapes with a qualitative level of absolute value. However, great attention was paid to the selection in the vineyard, in order to get perfect bunches to the cellar. As usual, great care was taken in the fermentation and extraction phases, carrying out delestages and pumping over in compliance with the varietal aromas and the high color content of the berries. For all three varieties, fermentation was carried out with average temperatures of 27 °, without ever exceeding 31 °, in order to preserve the best olfactory sensations and typicality of the fruit. Right from the start the musts showed considerable complexity but above all, in the case of Sangiovese, an intense varietal typicality in aromas, elegance and color, immediately presaging a year of great potential. After racking, carried out when the alcoholic fermentation was over, the wines were placed in new oak barriques, where they underwent malolactic fermentation by the end of the year.
