The Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva is a historic Antinori wine, the full expression of quality and elegance of the Sangiovese from these areas.

Produced with a majority of Sangiovese grapes and completed with other complementary varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc), coming from Tenuta Tignanello, this wine is the result of careful selection of the bunches and meticulous workmanship in the cellar.

In particular, the grapes are destemmed and softly pressed, alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place and by the end of the year the wine is assembled and left to refine for about a year in French and Hungarian oak barriques. Following bottling, the wine rests for a further 12 months in the bottle before being released on the market.

When tasted, the wine in the glass has an intense ruby red color. A rich bouquet on the nose: fresh notes of red fruit, floral sensations of mallow and lavender stand out, accompanied by spicy aromas, white pepper and cocoa powder. In the mouth the entry is soft with enveloping tannins, the sip is therefore elegant, with a long and persistent finish.

It should be underlined that for the 2020 vintage of Marchese Antinori, earning 7th place, entered the “Top 10 2023” of Wine Spectator, the prestigious and influential world wine ranking.

A great Chianti, try it and you will never want to stop drinking it!
