Historic Antinori house wine which, since the 2011 vintage, is produced with grapes from the Tignanello estate. It is composed almost entirely of Sangiovese grapes combined with a small amount of other complementary varieties. A wine that presents itself as the full expression of the quality and elegance of the Sangiovese of these areas.
Vinification
Upon arrival in the cellar, the grapes were de-stemmed and then softly pressed, the must was transferred to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place, which took about a week. The maceration was managed with very delicate pumping over and delestage in order to guarantee an intense extraction but at the same time capable of preserving the elegance and sweetness of the tannins. At the end of the malolactic fermentation, which took place spontaneously by the end of the year, the blended wine continued the aging period in French and Hungarian oak barrels for about a year. The Marchese Antinori was then bottled and aged in the bottle for a further 12 months.

Tasting Notes
Marchese Antinori has a ruby red color. Intense notes of morello cherry, violet and lavender on the nose alternate with small blood sensations, typical of Sangiovese, and spicy hints of tobacco and leather complete the bouquet with delicate notes of vanilla and cocoa powder. On the palate it is enveloping, full, with an excellent compactness of the tannic texture and a good vivacity that make it long and persistent. Excellent aftertaste characterized by red fruits and licorice.
