Product Notes

Antinori Tenuta Tignanello Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG wine is an exquisite embodiment of Italy's winemaking heritage from the renowned Antinori family. It offers a rich, velvety taste profile with a complementing balance of acidity and tannin. Layered flavours of dark fruits, spices and sensual undertones of leather, mingle together in a symphony of tastes. Aged in oak barrels, it exudes complexity and lends a long, sophisticated finish. A harmonious blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, its full-bodied character pairs superbly with classic Italian dishes. Truly, a vino that captures the heart of Tuscany.

Tasting Notes

Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva 2021 is an intense ruby red color. The nose delivers notes of red fruit, in particular black cherries, light hints of flowers and sweet impressions of powdered sugar. The bouquet is completed by hints of cinnamon and dill that impart pleasantly spicy nuances. The vertical palate is taut, pleasantly mouthfilling with supple tannins and closes with a lengthy, sapid, and full finish.
