Despite\u003cbr\u003e these conditions, the vines proved to be remarkably resilient,\u003cbr\u003e budbreak and flowering were even and regular and the vines\u003cbr\u003e progressed normally through the hottest months of summer.\u003cbr\u003e Grapes presented optimal vegetative growth and a well\u003cbr\u003ebalanced crop load at the onset of veraison.

Excellent weather during the autumn\u003cbr\u003e months guaranteed fruit with outstanding quality. The grape\u003cbr\u003e harvest began mid-of September with Sangiovese and was\u003cbr\u003e completed at the beginning of October with Cabernet\u003cbr\u003e Sauvignon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVinification\u003cbr\u003e Upon arrival in the cellar, freshly harvested grapes were destemmed and gently crushed; the must was transferred\u003cbr\u003e into stainless steel tanks, where alcoholic fermentation occurred in about one week’s time. Very gentle pump overs and délestage techniques were performed during maceration on the skins, which took place over a period of about 10 days, to guarantee an intense extraction while preserving elegant and supple tannins. Malolactic fermentation, which took place spontaneously, was completed by the end of the year. The wine was then blended and went into French and Hungarian oak barriques for approximately one year. Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva was then bottled and aged for an additional period of 12 months before being released.\u003cbr\u003e Historical Data\u003cbr\u003e The Tignanello estate is located in the heart of the Chianti Classico production zone, nestled between the valleys of the Greve and Pesa rivers, and extends over close to 800 total acres (319 hectares), some 130 of which (415 hectares) are planted to vines. The vineyards consist principally of the native Sangiovese grape along with such nontraditional varieties as Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The Marchese Antinori is an historic wine of the Antinori cellars which, since 2011, is produced from the grapes of the Tignanello estate. It is a wine which presents itself as the full expression of the quality and elegance of the Sangiovese of this part of Tuscany.\u003cbr\u003e Tasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva 2022 is intensely ruby red in color.
