Cellar
The Antinori have dedicated themselves to the art of wine-making for more than six hundred years: ever since Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Arte Fiorentina dei Vinattieri in 1385.
For 26 generations, the family has always directly managed this activity with innovative and sometimes courageous choices, but always maintaining unaltered respect for tradition and for the territory.
Every vintage, every soil, every idea is a new beginning, a new search for ever higher quality margins. As Marquis Piero likes to say: "ancient roots play an important role in our philosophy, but they have never inhibited our innovative spirit".
Description
Coming from the Tignanello Vineyard, it is a speciality produced in limited quantities, created to offer the perfumes and aromas of the grapes grown in the Chianti region in a fine and aromatic distillate.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Transparent and crystal clear.
The nose offers delicate aromas of white flowers, rose petals and small red berries. Persuasive, soft and balanced on the palate, with fruity and spicy notes that anticipate a fresh and very persistent finish.
Storage time:
over 20 years
Gastronomic pairings
Vinification
The fermented grape marc is transferred to the distillery immediately after emptying the fermentation vats (racking) and pressing. This procedure ensures that only the best pomace, rich in alcohol and especially in aromatic substances, is used for distillation.
