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 seasonal trend, especially during the summer, has required an intense and careful selection of the grapes, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. This careful selection made it possible to give added value to the Tignanello grapes which, already unique in themselves for their typicality and their attitude, have produced wines of great character and structure. During fermentation and maceration in the truncated cone tanks, the musts were vinified with extreme attention to the freshness of the aromas, the extraction of color and the management of the tannin aimed at sweetness and elegance. Once the skins were separated from the wine, malolactic fermentation was started in barriques, thus enhancing the finesse and pleasantness of the aromas.
The aging process then began which lasted approximately 12-14 months, in French and Hungarian oak barrels, partly new and partly from the first passage; during this period the different batches, vinified separately according to the variety, are raised in wood and then assembled a few months before bottling.
Tignanello 2006, at the time of its introduction on the market, has a very intense ruby ​​red color and fragrant notes of ripe red fruit and spices that express themselves on the nose with good balance. In the mouth it is rich, full and round, dense at the right point without masking the great elegance that distinguishes it and its complexity. It is a powerful wine, but fine and very pleasant to drink, with a good persistence and a dense aftertaste of chocolate and citrus notes. The tannin, sweet and velvety, is very present and this, together with the well balanced acidic level, ensures a great longevity to Tignanello.

CELLAR

The Antinori family has been dedicated to wine production for more than six hundred years: since, in 1385, Giovanni di Piero Antinori became part of the Florentine Art of the Vinattieri. Throughout its long history, through 26 generations, the family has always managed this business directly with innovative and sometimes courageous choices but always maintaining the respect for traditions and for the territory unchanged. Today the company is chaired by Albiera Antinori, with the support of the two sisters Allegra and Alessia, who are personally involved in the company's activities. The father, Marchese Piero Antinori, is currently the Honorary President of the company. Tradition, passion and intuition were the driving qualities that led the Marquises Antinori to establish themselves as one of the main Italian producers of high quality wines. Read more
