Winery
The Antinori have dedicated themselves to the art of viticulture for more than six hundred years: ever since, in 1385, Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine Guild of Winemakers.
For 26 generations, the family has always managed this activity directly, making innovative and sometimes courageous choices, but always maintaining unaltered respect for tradition and for the territory.
Each vintage, each soil, each idea is a new beginning, a new search for higher and higher quality margins. As Marquis Piero likes to say: "the ancient roots play an important role in our philosophy, but they have never inhibited our innovative spirit".
Description
Maggiarino comes from the vineyards of the homonymous farm, one of the most suited areas of La Braccesca. A balanced wine capable of exalting the fragrant varietal character through the silky tannins typical of the Nobile di Montepulciano territory, a historical Tuscan appellation.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Maggiarino shows an intense ruby red color. Notes of violet, red fruit and vanilla make up a complex aromatic profile. On the palate it is smooth, balanced, silky and supported by the excellent freshness typical of Sangiovese. Persistent and mineral on the finish.
Storage time:
8-15 years old
Vinification
20 days of maceration in stainless steel vats, the wine was transferred into tonneaux, where malolactic fermentation took place
