Tignanello Antinori in the 2009 vintage in jeroboam format, a treasure, the fruit of a splendid vintage.
Tignanello Antinori is a red wine with extraordinary qualities, one of the first Super Tuscans in history. It is produced only in the best years.
Tignanello is made from Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Its grapes come from the Tignanello vineyard with south-west exposure.
2009 was a year characterized by a cold and rainy winter which guaranteed water reserves for a mild spring which allowed regular budding of the vines. The summer was initially rainy, with August hot and dry. The ripening of the varieties took place between September and October. At harvest the grapes were of the highest quality, revealing a strong vintage!
The Tignanello Antinori harvest began at the end of September, with careful manual harvesting, very careful sorting and treatment of the grapes, selecting only the ripe grapes. The must is fermented in truncated cone tanks and then undergoes malolactic fermentation in barriques to preserve and enhance all its aromas and the elegance of the tannins. The refinement took place in French and Hungarian oak barrels for 16-18 months.
Tignanello 2009 Antinori is a wine with an intense ruby color with violet reflections. The aromas are reminiscent of liquorice, vanilla, cocoa, with fruity notes of cherry in alcohol and violet. In the mouth it is persuasive, rich and enveloping, with great persistence and finesse. An elegant wine, faithful expression of the Chianti area.
This bottle is part of the Antinori reserve, it was put on the market and came to us directly from Tenuta Tignanello in 2023.
