{"product_id":"antinori-tignanello","title":"Antinori Tignanello 2021","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"25\"\u003eAntinori Tignanello 2021\u003c\/b\u003e marks a truly historic milestone, celebrating the 50th anniversary of this legendary \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"135\"\u003eSuper Tuscan\u003c\/b\u003e estate. First created by the historic \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"186\"\u003eAntinori\u003c\/b\u003e family in 1971, it permanently reshaped Italian viticulture by becoming the first contemporary red wine to be blended with non-traditional French varieties and aged in small oak barrels. Crafted from a rigorous selection of grapes grown on the sun-baked, limestone-rich soils of the single \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"485\"\u003eTignanello Vineyard\u003c\/b\u003e in the heart of Chianti Classico, this highly celebrated 2021 vintage is widely regarded by critics as a modern benchmark for the estate, benefiting from an idyllic, slow-paced growing season that delivered flawless fruit concentration. This masterfully balanced blend is composed of 79% \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"51\"\u003eSangiovese\u003c\/b\u003e, 13% \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"67\"\u003eCabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/b\u003e, and 8% \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"94\"\u003eCabernet Franc\u003c\/b\u003e. In the cellar, the winemaking team coaxes unparalleled suppleness from the fruit through separate vinification in conical vats, followed by 17 months of careful maturation in a combination of French and Hungarian oak barrels. This highly precise oak treatment gives the wine its magnificent structural frame, perfectly smoothing out the firm tannins while allowing the vibrant, native acidity of the Sangiovese to remain the refreshing, driving force on the palate. On the pour, this premium \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"26\"\u003eTuscany\u003c\/b\u003e red reveals a mesmerising aromatic profile filled with fresh redcurrants, dark cherries, blood orange, and sweet pipe tobacco, accented by subtle hints of liquorice and crushed white pepper. For the everyday drinker, it offers a luxurious, velvety mouthfeel that avoids any heavy or jammy notes, finishing with an incredibly long, savoury persistence. While it possesses the depth to cellar and evolve gracefully for decades, its impeccable harmony makes it wonderfully approachable today, serving as the ultimate match for a special occasion dinner alongside roasted lamb, fine beef, or mature cheeses.[#intro]\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAn iconic Tuscan red delivering an incredible balance of rich dark fruit and silky elegance...[\/intro]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antinori","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40562952011843,"sku":"A21TIGNANELLO","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/Tignanello2020Bt.jpg?v=1689949868","url":"https:\/\/hic.wine\/products\/antinori-tignanello","provider":"Hic!","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
