2021 Chianti Classico Riserva Villa Antinori

Parker: 92 

This wine sees its fruit sourced from multiple villages: San Casciano, Gaiole, Castellina and Greve. The 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva Villa Antinori is not married to a specific subzone of the appellation because it seeks to embrace a house style rather than a vineyard identity. Aged in tonneaux with some barrique, the wine is rich and lasting but not large. In fact, it remains elegant on the palate with fine tannins and good fruit tension with cherry and blue flowers.

The 2022 Chianti Classico Riserva Villa Antinori exemplifies refined Tuscan winemaking with its rich structure and elegant complexity. Crafted from carefully selected Sangiovese grapes, this Riserva offers intense aromas of ripe cherry, violet, and subtle spice, balanced by firm tannins and a lingering finish. Ideal for aging, it pairs beautifully with hearty Italian dishes, showcasing the depth and tradition of the Chianti Classico region. A distinguished choice for connoisseurs seeking a sophisticated expression of classic Italian terroir.
