DESCRIPTION

It was the first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques, the first modern red wine blended with non-traditional varieties (such as Cabernet), and among the first red wines in Chianti Classico not to use white grapes. Tignanello is a milestone. It is produced with a selection of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The label was designed by Silvio Coppola in 1974, for the release of the 1971 vintage. It was at a 1973 dinner at the Castello della Sala that the name of Coppola came out. Graphic designer and designer, famous for his essential lamps, rigorous furniture, but also the covers of many Feltrinelli books, Coppola was the right name for that work. LAFIRMA: The Marquis Piero Antinori, current Honorary President, decided to have his father, Niccolò Antinori, sign the Tignanello label as a symbol of gratitude for the trust shown in him.
TIGNANELLO ESTATE, San Casciano in Val di Pesa (FI)
The climatic trend in 2016 was favorable, nevertheless the attention was very high, both in the vineyard during the harvesting operations, and in the cellar when the grapes arrived, where the selection and the first processing represented an added value for enhance the characteristics of the vintage. During the fermentation process in truncated conical tanks, the musts were macerated with extreme attention to the freshness of the aromas, the extraction of color and the management of tannins aimed at sweetness and elegance. The racking took place only after careful and daily tastings. Once the skins were separated from the wine, malolactic fermentation was started in barrique, enhancing the finesse and complexity of the aromas
They were then blended, rested for about 12 months in barriques, decanted and finally, after a careful tasting barrique by barrique, the wine was bottled. The introduction on the market took place after a further year of refinement.
Tignanello 2016 is in full harmony with the vintage. Intense ruby ​​red, in some respects, lively. On the nose the notes of ripe red fruit are combined with pleasant hints of fresh blackberry and berries. Delicate and perfectly integrated aromas of vanilla, bitter chocolate and light spices. On the palate it is vibrant, with silky and refined tannins. Balanced and intense with a long, complex and persistent finish.
