Marchese ANTINORI<br />Classification<br />Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva<br />Grapes<br />Sangiovese and other complementary varieties<br />Vintage<br />2020<br />Climate<br />The year 2020 in Chianti Classico began with a mild, dry winter and, only in the final part of March, was marked by a brief cold spell; these climatic conditions favoured an<br />early budding of the vines. An averagely rainy and rather cool spring preceded a hot summer, free of thermal extremes, and characterised by a few rainy events that allowed<br />the bunches to grow optimally.<br />The month of September, during which harvesting operations began, was characterised above all in its final part by light rainfall that favoured the completion of the phenolic<br />ripening of the grapes. The harvest began around 20 September with the Sangiovese and ended on 9 October with the Cabernet Sauvignon.<br /><br />Vinification and ageing<br />On arrival in the cellar, the grapes were destemmed and then softly pressed; the must was transferred to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place,<br />which lasted about a week. Maceration was managed with very gentle pumping over and délestage in order to ensure an intense extraction but at the same time capable of<br />preserving the elegance and sweetness of the tannins. At the end of malolactic fermentation, which took place spontaneously by the end of the year, the blended wine<br />continued its ageing in French and Hungarian oak barriques for about a year. The Marchese Antinori was then bottled and aged in the bottle for a further 12 months.<br /><br />Alcohol content: 14.0% Vol.<br /><br />Historical data<br />Tenuta Tignanello is located in the heart of Chianti Classico, on the soft hillsides between the Greve and Pesa valleys, and covers 319 hectares, of which about 130 are<br />planted with vines. Tenuta Tignanello's vineyards are composed mainly of the indigenous Sangiovese and non-traditional varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet<br />Franc. The Marchese Antinori is a historic reserve of the Antinori house, a wine created to portray the full expression of quality and elegance of Chianti Classico in this<br />unique territory.<br /><br />Tasting notes<br />Intense ruby red in colour, Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva 2020 stands out on the nose for fresh notes of red fruit alternating with floral sensations of mallow and<br />lavender. In the rich bouquet, sweet hints of white chocolate alternate with spicy aromas. On the palate, the soft, enveloping entry continues in an<br />elegant taste, with vibrant tannins, showing the typical energy of the vineyards of origin and introducing a long, savoury and persistent finish where notes of white pepper,<br />flowers and cocoa powder re-emerge.<br />

Il Bruciato 2019<br />Classification DOC<br />Vintage 2019<br />Climate: The 2019 vintage was marked by a generally cold period between April and May and by generally warm and dry weather until July. The initial slight delay in the<br />vegetative cycle was recovered from the summer onwards. The sudden rise in temperature, especially for the later varieties where fruit set had not yet been completed,<br />favoured a production characterised by light, sparse bunches. The stable and sunny weather in August and September enabled the grapes to complete their ripening in<br />optimum conditions. The harvest began with Merlot at the beginning of September and ended with Cabernet Sauvignon at the beginning of October. The other varieties were<br />also harvested in mid to late September: Syrah and small quantities of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.<br />Vinification: On arrival at the winery, the selected grapes were destemmed and softly crushed. Fermentation and maceration took place in temperature-controlled stainless<br />steel tanks for a period of about 10-15 days at a temperature of 28-30 °C. Some of the Merlot and Syrah must was kept at lower fermentation temperatures to preserve the<br />varietal aromas. Malolactic fermentation took place partly in barriques and partly in stainless steel tanks, and was completed by the end of the year for all varieties. The<br />Cabernet Sauvignon was then blended with Merlot, Syrah, and small quantities of Cabernet France Petit Verdot. The wine thus obtained was returned to the barrique, where<br />it rested before being bottled.<br />Historical data: Tenuta Guado al Tasso is located in the small, prestigious DOC area of Bolgheri, on the coast of the Alta Maremma, about a hundred kilometres south-west<br />of Florence. This appellation has a relatively short history (it was founded in 1994) but boasts international fame as a new point of reference in the world wine scene.Tenuta<br />Guado al Tasso covers an area of 1,000 hectares - about 320 planted with vines, the rest with wheat, sunflowers and olive trees - in a splendid plain surrounded by hills<br />known as the 'Bolgheri amphitheatre' for its particular conformation. The vineyards of Guado al Tasso are mainly composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet<br />Franc, Petit Verdot and Vermentino grapes. They enjoy a mild climate due to the proximity of the sea: the constant breezes mitigate the summer heat and the rigours of<br />winter, clean the sky and keep the sunshine index high. Il Bruciato was born in 2002, during one of the most difficult harvests of Tenuta Guado al Tasso, to tell the story of<br />the unique terroir of Bolgheri in a modern style. Initially, the grape used was that of Guado al Tasso, but over the years the varietal composition has changed and there is<br />now a dedicated rose of varieties. The Bruciato was not produced in 2003.<br />Tasting Notes: The 2019 Bruciato shows its usual intense ruby red colour. The nose is characterised by notes of small, intact black fruits, sweet spices and tobacco. The<br />palate has good structure, harmony and pleasantness of drinking. In the aftertaste, fresh and fruity notes predominate, giving the wine succulence and sweetness.<br />

Teroldego Rotaliano DOC<br />BOTTEGA VINAI<br /><br />Teroldego is probably the oldest quality vine variety produced in Trentino; in fact, there has been talk of it since the 15th century, but there is no certainty as to its<br />etymological origin: perhaps it refers to the 'Tiroler Gold' - gold of the Tyrol - for its intrinsic quality that prompted Cesare Battisti to define it as the 'prince wine of Trentino'.<br />In 1948, its producers were the first to form a consortium for the protection of Teroldego Rotaliano and in 1970 they were the first to obtain the recognition of Denominazione<br />di Origine Controllata. Production area: Campo Rotaliano, to the north of Trento, in the municipality of Mezzolombardo, on the glacial gravel banks of the Noce torrent, which<br />in fact reproduce the characteristics of the hillside.<br /><br />Grape varieties: exclusively Teroldego with a yield of 80 hectolitres per hectare. It has large, trilobate leaves with sharp, irregular toothing and red autumn colouring; the<br />vigour of the vines is good and constant, grown using the Trentino pergola; the bunches are fairly compact, the skin is pruinose and leathery and the flesh juicy.<br /><br />Vinification and refinement: it is vinified in red, with maceration lasting 8-10 days in stainless steel tanks. It is then aged partly in barriques and partly in Slavonian oak<br />casks, but only for 6 months and no longer, in order to preserve the fruity notes typical of the variety.<br /><br />Analytical data: -Alcohol:13,00%vol-Total acidity: 5 g/l-Net dry extract: 29 g/l-Residual sugar: dry-Contains sulphites<br /><br />Organoleptic characteristics: Intense ruby red wine, with marked and lively purple edges when young. The bouquet is clean, distinctly fruity with hints of raspberry and<br />blackberry and berries, such as raspberry, in the initial period; later, as it matures, the bouquet is enriched with new sensations, becoming ethereal, very broad and at the<br />same time personal. In the mouth it reveals a balanced tannicity, accompanied by a full and continuous texture. The taste is velvety, enveloping, full-bodied and austere.<br /><br />Serving suggestions: 'Tonco de Pontesel' from Trentino, venison and polenta, veal stew, mixed grilled meats.<br /><br />Serving temperature: 16-18°C<br />

Teroldego Rotaliano Superiore DOC Riserva<br />THE MASO<br /><br />Within the framework of Trentino oenology, Teroldego has always had a prestigious role and for this reason it is called the 'prince wine' of Trentino. No one has so far been<br />able to say anything certain about its origin. Some say that a long time ago the Teroldego, a vine variety cultivated in the Veronese area, was brought to that large nest<br />called Campo Rotaliano, others, instead, date its origins back to the hills of Sorni, while others maintain that the name Teroldego derives from the German Tiroler Gold, that<br />is, Gold of the Tyrol. What is certain is that the first entry of the name of this vine in literature dates back to the 18th century in the oenological disquisitions of Michelangelo<br />Mariani, historiographer of the Council of Trent.<br /><br />Production area: from vineyards located in the most suitable areas of Campo Rotaliano in Trentino, in the municipality of Mezzolombardo. The soil is alluvial on gravel<br />banks of the Noce torrent, shallow, tends to be loose and well drained.<br /><br />Grape varieties: 100% Teroldego, a native Trentino vine. The yield per hectare is limited to no more than 80 quintals of grapes per hectare.<br /><br />Vinification and refinement:The grapes harvested at the end of September were vinified in red at a temperature not exceeding 25°C. After fermentation, the wine was aged in<br />barriques and casks for about 24 months. Bottled in February 2018, it remains to refine for another 6 months in the bottle.<br /><br />Analytical data: -Alcohol: 13,50% vol -Total acidity: 4,80g/l -Net dry extract: 31,10g/l-Sugars: dry-Contains sulphites<br /><br />Organoleptic characteristics: extremely dense ruby red wine with violet hues. The nose presents aromatic notes of small red fruits and violets. Important, well-structured on<br />the palate, balanced and enveloping thanks to the sweet tannins. The taste has an intense aftertaste of blackberry and blueberry.<br /><br />Pairings: Roasted red meats, game and very mature cheeses.<br />Serving temperature: 16 -18°C<br />

Maso Romani Marzemino 2020<br />Trentino Superiore DOC<br /><br />The name derives from Attilio Romani, who in the 19th century bought the maso and vineyards from Odoardo Seeber. IlMaso, owned by the Romani Foundation, is<br />managed directly by CAVIT, which has been producing this historic cru for over twenty years. Since 2003, the vineyard has been the subject of a long phase of study with<br />the aim of proposing, evaluating and enhancing all the possible wine productions of Marzemino known today, safeguarding the productive complexity and biodiversity<br />resulting from the conservation of one of its historic vineyards. The result of this intense work was the creation of the new vineyard at Maso Romani in spring 2008.<br /><br />Production area: Maso Romani is located in Vallagarina in the renowned Marzemino dei Ziresi production area, in the municipality of Volano; the vineyard of about six<br />hectares is a single property surrounded by ancient walls, which delimit its perimeter. The characteristics of the Maso Romani cultivation environment have been carefully<br />described in the zoning study carried out by the Istituto Agrario di San Michele all'Adige. The soil was formed from fairly ancient alluvium, often terraced and colluviated.<br />The soil is fairly deep, with little skeleton and a loamy-clayey texture. The climate is temperate continental, with cold, dry winters and relatively cool, rainy summers. The<br />area has been divided into two parts: one dedicated to the 'historical vineyard' and the other to the experimental-demonstration vineyard. In the historic vineyard, the rooted<br />cuttings obtained from the buds of the best vines selected in the existing vineyard by F.E.M. (Edmund Mach Foundation) researchers were planted. In the experimental-<br />demonstrative vineyard all possible clones and biotypes of Marzemino available in Italy were compared, in different combinations with the main cultivated rootstocks.<br /><br />Grape varieties: exclusively Marzemino with very limited production per hectare. The training system is the unilateral Guyot with 5,050 vines per hectare.<br /><br />Vinification and refinement: After careful manual harvesting of the grapes in October, the must was fermented with its skins in stainless steel tanks at temperatures never<br />exceeding 26 °C. Maceration in contact with the skins during alcoholic fermentation lasted 8 days. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine remained in stainless steel for<br />about a year and after bottling was aged for 6 months in the bottle.<br /><br />Analytical data: -Alcohol: 13.00% vol. -Total acidity: 5.25 g/l -Secret extract: 32.0 g/l -Residual sugars: dry<br /><br />Organoleptic characteristics: dark ruby red, with violet nuances; on the nose it presents intense floral scents of violet and fruity notes of plum and red fruits, such as black<br />cherry. On the palate it is well-balanced, well-structured with a long, enveloping persistence of fruity and floral notes.<br />Pairings: Starters with cured meats, with pasta with game ragout and with white meat main courses, such as roast poultry and other typical Trentine dishes.<br />

TIGNANELLO<br />Classification: Toscana IGT - Typical Geographical Indication<br />Vintage: 2019<br />Grapes: Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc<br /><br />Climate:The 2019 season in Chianti Classico was characterised by regular weather conditions, with a rather cold winter with little rainfall, and a cool and rainy early spring,<br />especially in April and May. The summer was warm, with no temperature extremes, and characterised by slightly above-average rainfall, which allowed the plants to grow<br />properly, both in terms of vegetation and bunches. Starting at the end of August and throughout September and October, the optimal climate allowed all the varieties grown<br />in the Tignanello vineyard to ripen perfectly. The grapes were harvested from the second ten days of September, beginning with the Sangiovese, until the Cabernet grapes<br />were picked on 16 October.<br /><br />Vinification and ageing: the climatic conditions of the harvest required, as usual, great care both in the vineyard during harvesting operations and in the cellar when the<br />grapes arrived, where sorting and initial processing were fundamental to achieving an optimal final result. During the fermentation process in truncated conical tanks, the<br />musts were macerated with extreme attention to the preservation of aromas, extraction of colour and management of the sweetness and elegance of the tannins. Drawing off<br />took place only after careful, daily tastings. Once the skins were separated from the wine, malolactic fermentation began in barriques to enhance the finesse and complexity<br />of the aromas. The ageing process took place in French and Hungarian oak barrels, partly new and partly second-passage, for a total period of approximately 14-16 months;<br />after an initial ageing in separate batches<br />these were assembled to complete the evolution in wood. The wine, made mainly from Sangiovese grapes and a small proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet<br />Franc, was aged for a further 12 months in bottle before being presented on the market.<br /><br />Alcohol content: 14% Vol.<br /><br />Historical data: Tignanello is produced exclusively from the vineyard of the same name located at Tenuta Tignanello on a 57-hectare south-west-facing site of limestone<br />origin with tuffaceous elements, at an altitude of between 350 and 400 metres above sea level. It was the first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques, the first modern red wine<br />blended with non-traditional varieties such as Cabernet, and among the first red wines in Chianti not to use white grapes. Tignanello, originally 'Chianti Classico Riserva<br />vigneto Tignanello' was first vinified from a single vineyard with the 1970 vintage, when it contained 20% Canaiolo and 5% Trebbiano and Malvasia, and was aged in small oak<br />barrels. With the 1971 vintage, it became a Tuscan table wine and was called Tignanello, and with the 1975 vintage, the white grapes were totally eliminated. Since 1982,<br />the composition has remained unchanged. Tignanello is only produced in the best vintages; it was not produced in 1972, 1973,1974, 1976, 1984, 1992 and 2002.<br /><br />Tasting notes: Tignanello 2019 has a ruby red colour. The nose is striking for its great complexity: notes of red fruit, strawberry and pomegranate, alternate with delicate<br />hints of apricot and peaches in syrup, accompanying elegant nuances of vanilla, dried flowers, chocolate and pleasant spicy sensations of nutmeg; notes of coffee, caramel<br />and Mediterranean herbs complete the bouquet. On the palate, it is enveloping and graceful, with silky, vibrant tannins that give the wine liveliness, savouriness and taste<br />persistence; the aftertaste is characterised by notes of roasted coffee and bitter cocoa.<br />

Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Riserva di Fizzano<br /><br />Grape varieties<br />Sangiovese 90% minimum and<br />Colorino in variable % each year<br /><br />The Riserva di Fizzano, the winery's historic cru, already had the characteristics of the Gran Selezione even before the new appellation was created as part of the 'Chianti<br />Classico Revolution' operation. And perhaps it was precisely these wines already present in the territory, with their inimitable characteristics, that inspired the search for<br />and then the definition of a summit in the Chianti Classico quality pyramid at which to position them.<br />
