Tignanello 0.75l IGT 2019 - Marchesi Antinori

Tignanello Rosso Toscana IGT 2019 by Marchesi Antinori, 0.75l bottle.

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 2019 season in the Chianti Classico was characterized by regular climatic conditions, with a rather cold winter with little rainfall, and a cool and rainy start to spring, especially in the months of April and May. The summer was hot, without thermal excesses, and characterized by slightly higher than average rainfall which allowed the plants to grow correctly both in terms of vegetation and bunches. Starting from the end of August and during the months of September and October, the optimal climate allowed the perfect maturation of all the varieties grown in the Tignanello vineyard. The grapes were harvested starting from the second ten days of September, starting with the Sangiovese, until the Cabernet harvest was completed on 16 October.
