Climate
 The 2019 growing season in Chianti Classico began with cold
 winter conditions and very limited rainfall. The first half of
 spring was cool and rainy, especially during the months of April
 and May. June brought hot but never extreme weather and
 higher-than-average levels of precipitation that allowed good
 growth and development of both canopy and grape clusters. A
 stretch of beautiful weather kicked in at the end of August
 through mid-September providing ideal conditions especially
 for white grape varieties prompting an excellent ripening phase
 that preserved the freshness and clean pure quality of the fruit.
 The grape harvest took place September 16th and 17th.

Fermentation and Aging
 Grapes for Vinsanto were harvested exclusively from Antinori estate vineyards in the Chianti Classico region. Clusters were carefully selected in the vineyard and placed into small crates; in the cellar they were laid out manually on bamboo mats in the drying room at Tenuta Tignanello. The grapes were left to desiccate until the end of December then were gently pressed to preserve their aromatic and organoleptic qualities. The must was introduced into small casks called caratelli, coopered with different types of wood in sizes varying from 50 to 200 liters where alcoholic fermentation took place. The fermentation process progressed slowly over a lengthy period of time and was then halted. Vinsanto Marchese Antinori was left to age in the caratelli for about 3 years then blended
 and bottled.
 Historical data
 The production of Vinsanto in Tuscany goes all the way back to the Middle Ages and the wine is considered a true regional specialty; the Antinori family has always produced it. The first vintage of the Vinsanto Tenute Marchese Antinori (a “natural” Vinsanto, not a fortified wine with alcohol added) was the 1987.
