Tignanello Toscana IGP 2021

Antinori is an Italian family that began its history in 1385. They are one of the largest wine companies in Italy, and their pioneer work played a large part in the revolution of "Super-Tuscans" in the 1970s. The Chianti Classico region forms the focus of operations, though the company has vineyards in various countries, and about 20 million bottles are produced yearly with 150 labels. By the time the 20th century had arrived the Antinori family had fully approved itself as one of the most honourable in Italy. Nevertheless, the family was not simply pleased with its repute in Florence, and Piero Antinori bought several vineyards in the Chianti Classico region in 1900. This purchase included 47 hectares of Tignanello, the vineyard where is from the wine of the same name. The Antinori were not afraid of changing the traditions of the region, resulting in a scandal arising in the 1920s when Niccolo Antinori began producing a Chianti wine, adding grape varieties from the Bordeaux. Traditionalists were furious however the wine continued to increase in popularity and only served to increase the already outstanding reputation of the Antinori.

Vienas šķirnes Cabernet Franc vīnam ir vidējs miesas tilpums, un tajā ir grafīta, zaļās paprikas un sarkanās lakricas notis, bet tumšākiem vīniem ir vairāk cigāru un ādas garšu.

Kalnainais reljefs un siltais klimats padara Toskānas reģionu par ideālu vīnadarināšanai. Tas ir trešajā vietā pēc DOC un DOCG kategorijas vīnu daudzuma pēc Piemontas un Veneto. Pašlaik vispopulārākā vīnogu šķirne ir cēlā Sangiovese – tā ir ārkārtīgi termofīla un veiksmīgi atklāj savas labākās iezīmes siltā klimatā. Vīniem ir jauka struktūra, samtaini tanīni un augļu aromāts, krāsa ir bagātīgi rubīnsarkana, bet visizcilākās garšas notis ir ķirši, avenes un garšvielas.
