Chianti Classico 2021 Riserva Docg Tenuta Tignanello - Antinori

The Marquis Antinori Chianti Riserva is a still red wine with Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) status.
Produced only in the best vintages from Sangiovese grapes (90%) and Cabernet Franc grapes (10%) carefully selected by both bunch and berry.
A wine with a long tradition that is produced exclusively in the Tuscan territory of Chianti.
The vines are grown using the Guyot, spurred cordon and Tuscan bow method in soils with a marly arenaceous, calcareous, not very clayey and sandy composition, located at an elevation that does not exceed 700 meters. Accomplice is a microclimate that allows the grapes to ripen slowly, thus determining the special chemical and organoleptic characteristics of this special Tuscan wine.
The Marchese wine Antinori Chianti Riserva from the cellars Antinori takes shape from the grapes of the vineyards of the Tignanello Estate and is a quality wine product highly appreciated in the Bel Paese as well as abroad.

To produce this wine, vinification and aging take place separately inside Hungarian and French oak barrels.
The grapes after being destemmed are softly crushed, then transferred inside stainless steel tanks, here the must undergoes the maceration process through delicate pumping over and déléstage, processes that allow the sweetness of the tannins to be maintained, after which alcoholic fermentation, racking, transfer to the barriques and bottling follow. After bottling it continues to age in bottle for 1 year. Intense ruby red. Ripe red fruit notes on the nose combine with pleasant hints of vanilla and spices. The palate is enveloping, balanced, but also lively and deep with soft, silky tannins. A wine of character, with an excellent territorial identity, characterized by a long and persistent finish.
