The wine

Villa Antinori: The soul of Chianti Classico Riserva

Let me guide you toward an experience that embodies the very essence of Tuscany. This Chianti Classico Riserva from Marchesi Antinori is not just a wine, it is an invitation to a sensory journey, a promise of moments shared under the Italian sun.

The Beating Heart of Chianti Classico

Nestled in the heart of the Chianti Classico appellation, this historic estate, Marchesi Antinori, is an institution. Their know-how is passed down from generation to generation, shaping wines that tell the story of this blessed land. This Riserva is mainly made from Sangiovese (90%), complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, a blend that gives it its complexity and elegance.

From the very first glance, its color reveals a deep intensity. On the nose, you will be enveloped by a symphony of cherry and ripe red fruits, enhanced by delicate notes of violet, vanilla and spices, with a subtle toasted touch. On the palate, it displays remarkable concentration and depth. The fruity flavors intertwine with a tannic structure that is present yet perfectly integrated, offering harmonious balance and a pleasant persistence that invites contemplation. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28-30°C, followed by maceration for 10 to 14 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place in steel tanks or barriques. The wine is then aged for 12 months in large casks and barriques, then refined in bottle.

An Unforgettable Table Companion

To fully appreciate this Chianti Classico Riserva, I suggest serving it at room temperature, ideally after brief decanting. It will be the perfect partner for a fragrant grilled lamb, a perfectly simmered ossobuco or aged cheeses such as a good pecorino. It is a bottle to share on convivial occasions, a true treasure that will turn a simple meal into a celebration.
