Renzo Cotarella, Antinori's head winemaker, describes 2012 as a dry, hot year with moderating influences from the late season rains in August and September that lowered sugar levels. Alcohols are down around 1% across the board, something that is also felt in the wines' lithe, mid-weight personalities. At the Tignanello estate, the 2012s show some similarities to the 2005s, with perhaps a bit more mid-palate depth.
