Tasting Notes

The 2015 Tignanello is a very intense ruby red in color. On the nose, the notes of ripe red fruit, together with cassis and blackberries, are in perfect balance with the hints of chocolate and liquorice. The palate is rich, ample, and vibrant and is endowed with lively and silky tannins which give a great complexity and an important length to the finish and aftertaste.

            [Notes4] => The climate of the 2015 vintage was an extremely regular
one and respected, in its various phases and seasons, the
typical weather of the Chianti Classico production zone. A
cold and relatively dry winter preceded a spring
characterized by damp weather in March and April and dry
weather in May and June. In this period, temperatures
were regular, guaranteeing a perfect growth of vegetation
and an excellent phase of flowering and bud set for the
grapes. The summer was a warm one, with peak
temperatures in July, but also with highly positive
temperature swings from daytime warmth to evening and
nighttime coolness which assured a constant growth of the
grape bunches free of stress. The month of August, warm
as well, was characterized by occasional rainfall which
favored a fine onset to the ripening of the crop. The
picking took place between mid-September and early
October in a climate of dry and breezy weather.

            [WineMakingNotes] => The 2015 vintage, regular in its various phases, will be remembered for the harvesting of
completely ripe and healthy grapes thanks to the highly favorable weather during the entire
growing season.
Despite this fact, the level of attention remained very high both in the vineyard during picking
operations and in the cellar when the crop arrived; here the selection of the grapes and the first
phases of their working gave an important impetus to a further optimization of quality.
During the fermentation in conical fermentation tanks, the must was macerated on the grape skins
with extreme care and attention to the freshness of the aromas, the extraction of color, and a
management of the tannins aimed at suppleness and elegance. The running of the wine off its skins
took place only after careful daily tastings. Once the wine was separated from its skins, it went into
oak barrels for a malolactic fermentation which further elevated the finesse and the complexity of
the aromas. The aging process then bega

The zone in any case, is known and prized for its exceptional red wines, its so-called “Super Tuscans”. with this important richness and with the elevated quality of its wines, Bolgheri has become one of the new capitals of world oenology

The vineyards – 45-65 meters above sea level on soils of various composition – are planted to Vermentino, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot along with small quantities of other grape varieties.
 Thanks to a mild climate created by the nearby
 presence of the sea and the constant breezes which mitigate the extremes of summer heat and winter cold, sweep the sky clean of clouds and cover, and accordingly increase the amount and intensity of sunlight, the harvest here normally commences at the end of August, two weeks earlier than the more inland zones of Tuscany. An ideal climate as well for the small greenhouse where the different varieties of young vines to be planted are grown and then utilized in the other Antinori estates in Tuscany and Umbria.

The vineyards – 45-65 meters above sea level on soils of various composition – are planted to Vermentino, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot along with small quantities of other grape varieties.
 Thanks to a mild climate created by the nearby
 presence of the sea and the constant breezes which mitigate the extremes of summer heat and winter cold, sweep the sky clean of clouds and cover, and accordingly increase the amount and intensity of sunlight, the harvest here normally commences at the end of August, two weeks earlier than the more inland zones of Tuscany. An ideal climate as well for the small greenhouse where the different varieties of young vines to be planted are grown and then utilized in the other Antinori estates in Tuscany and Umbria.
