Marchese Antinori Tenute Marchese Vinsanto Chianti del Classico DOC (2015)

375mL / Tuscany / Italy

Category: Wine
Sub-Category: Sticky

Tasting Notes:

Vinsanto Marchese Antinori is deep amber in color with golden highlights. On the nose sweet notes of dried fruit,
hazelnuts and dates, blend with intense sensations of candied orange, honey and aslight hint of cinnamon. The
palate is full, supple, backed up by a pleasant freshness that makes it vibrant and pleasurable. Enjoyable persistence
of flavors.

Climate:

Climate trends in 2015 were perfectly normal and each season reflected Chianti Classico’s typical weather patterns. A cold, rather dry winter preceded springtime that saw wet weather in the months of March and April and dry conditions in May and June; throughout this period temperatures were normal and guaranteed a perfect growing season and ideal phases of flowering and fruit set. Summer was hot with a heat wave in July but with excellent temperature fluctuations between day and night that ensured even cluster growth and the absence of stress in the vineyards. Hot weather continued through the month of August with scattered showers that favored an excellent start to ripening phases. Trebbiano and Malvasia clusters were harvested between September 10th and 15th.
