Tenuta Tignanello 'Marchese Antinori' Chianti Classico Riserva 2022
From the historic Tenuta Tignanello estate in Tuscany, the 'Marchese Antinori' Chianti Classico Riserva 2022 is a refined red from the renowned Antinori family. Crafted from 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from vineyards on limestone and clay soils in Chianti Classico, it’s hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel. Aged 14 months in French and Hungarian oak barrels, it reflects the promising 2022 vintage with a ruby hue and elegant complexity.
Winemaking Process
Antinori’s expertise shines in this wine. The 2022 vintage undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation (26–30°C) with a 10–15-day maceration to enhance fruit and tannin extraction. Aging for 14 months in French and Hungarian oak barrels, followed by bottle refinement, creates a balanced Riserva with vibrant fruit, polished tannins, and long aging potential.
