The Antinori have dedicated themselves to the art of viticulture for more than six hundred years: ever since, in 1385, Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine Guild of Winemakers.
For 26 generations, the family has always managed this activity directly, making innovative and sometimes courageous choices, but always maintaining unaltered respect for tradition and for the territory.
Each vintage, each soil, each idea is a new beginning, a new search for higher and higher quality margins. As Marquis Piero likes to say: "the ancient roots play an important role in our philosophy, but they have never inhibited our innovative spirit".
Description
Sangiovese and other complementary varieties pay homage to a historic label and to a wine with a long tradition: Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva. With the inauguration of the Antinori winery in Chianti Classico, the family wished to reinterpret a Tuscan classic, with its unmistakable style and recognized quality, through a Riserva which is delicate and, at the same time, decisive and elegant.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva 2021 si presenta di un colore rosso rubino. Al naso esprime note di prugna e mela cotogna ben in armonia con sentori speziati di alloro, cacao e pepe bianco e sensazioni balsamiche di eucalipto e mentuccia. Al palato è vivace, caratterizzato dall’ingresso morbido e un finale saporito e persistente, dove tornano tutti gli aromi percepiti al naso.
Destemmed grapes, gently crushed; transferred into stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature not exceeding 30 °C. Maceration lasted about 15 days
