✨ Technical Specifications
Grappa di Tignanello is a refined Italian spirit crafted from the pomace of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes harvested from the renowned Tignanello vineyard in the heart of Tuscany's Chianti Classico region. The Antinori family, pioneers of the Tuscan wine renaissance, apply the same rigorous standards to this distillate as they do to their legendary Super Tuscan wine. Immediately after the fermentation of the grapes for Tignanello, the moist, aromatic pomace is drawn off and sent to the distillery. Here, it is distilled using traditional copper steam alembic stills, a meticulous process that captures the volatile aromatic compounds of the grapes. The resulting spirit is clear, elegant, and intensely aromatic, offering notes of dried flowers, red berries, and a hint of spice, reflecting the unique terroir of the Tignanello estate.
