Antinori Description
Tasting Notes
Intensely ruby red in color, Tignanello 2020 has exceptionalaromatic complexity: notes of ripe red fruit especially cherries, strawberries and blackberriesare accompanied by delicate floral hints of violets, mallow blossoms and roses. Its bouquet is completed by notes of roasted coffee and cocoa powder. The vibrant entry gives wayto a caressing layered mouthfeel. The wine closes with spicy notes of pepperand licorice that merge with pleasant sensations of aromatic herbs for a fresh, lengthy finish.
Vinification
This growing season’s climate trends challenged us to be focused and diligent both in the vineyards during harvesting activitiesand when grapes were brought to the cellar where sorting operationsand initial winemaking
processes were essential to achieve optimal results. During fermentation in truncated conical tanks, each individual must was macerated on the skins giving particular emphasis to preserving aromas, extracting color,and encouraging desirable tannins that were supple and elegant. Racking was performed after rigorous dailysampling and tasting. Once separated from the skins, the wine was transferred into small oak barrels where it underwent malolactic fermentation to accentuate aromatic finesse and complexity. Aging took place in French and Hungarian
oak barrels, partly new and partly second passage, foratotal of 15 months: after an initial period ofaging the lots separately, they were blended then completed barrelaging. Tignanello, made primarily with Sangiovese and a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, underwentan additional 12-month period ofaging in the bottle before being released.
