ADDITIONAL NOTES:

The wine is produced on the Tignanello estate by the historic Antinori family. Since the 1970s, the estate has been a sort of "laboratory" for the winemaking experiments of the Marchesi Antinori, who also introduced new vines such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.

The estate is located in the heart of Chianti Classico, on the hills between the Greve and Pesa valleys, and extends over 319 hectares of land, of which approximately 130 hectares are under vineyards.

The most important vineyards of the estate are the Tignanello vineyard, of 57 hectares, and the Solaia vineyard, which are located on the same hill and are characterized by soils deriving from Pliocene marine marls with limestone and shale. Here the plants enjoy warm days and cool nights during the growing season.

The estate consists of a manor house dating back to the sixteenth century, which previously belonged to other rich families such as the Buondelmonti and the Medici. In the 19th century it finally passed to the Antinori family.
