Tignanello – Marchesi Antinori 2019

The 2019 season in Chianti Classico was characterized by regular climatic conditions, with a rather cold winter with little rainfall, and a cool and rainy beginning of spring, especially in the months of April and May.

The summer was hot, without thermal excesses, and characterized by slightly above average rains that allowed the plants to grow correctly both in the vegetation and in the clusters.

Starting from the end of August and during the months of September and October, the optimal climate allowed the perfect ripening of all the varieties grown in the Tignanello vineyard.

The grapes were harvested starting from the second decade of September, starting with the Sangiovese, until the Cabernet harvest completed on October 16.

Tignanello 2019 has a ruby red color.

The nose is striking for its great complexity: notes of red fruit, strawberry and pomegranate alternate with delicate hints of apricot and peaches in syrup, accompanying elegant nuances of vanilla, dried flowers, chocolate and pleasant spicy sensations of nutmeg; notes of coffee, caramel and Mediterranean aromatic herbs complete the bouquet.

On the palate it is enveloping and graceful, with silky and vibrant tannins that give the wine vivacity, sapidity and gustatory persistence; the aftertaste is characterized by notes of roasted coffee and bitter cocoa.
