Critic Score
The 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva Villa Antinori is plump, juicy and super-expressive. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, licorice, spice and leather are all dialed up. This lush, forward Riserva is full of near and medium term appeal. Pretty floral notes lift the finish. The Villa Antinori is a blend of fruit from the Antinori family's holdings in the San Sano, Capraia, Cigliano and Tignanello properties.

Sangiovese

The Antinori family have been producing wine in Tuscany for six centuries, and exporting it for four; that’s twenty-six generations of uninterrupted family ownership. The first recorded mention of the family dates from 1188, when they worked in the silk trade. They moved to Florence in the early thirteenth century, and remain central figures in the fabric of the city; Piazza Antinori is the square in the historic centre where their offices are located.

Antinori Tenuta Tignanello Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG is a premium red wine that is produced in the Chianti Classico region of Toscana, Italy. It is made from a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc grapes, which are handpicked from their estate vineyards. The wine is aged in oak barrels for 12 months, then in bottle for an additional 12 months before it is released. The result is a complex, full-bodied wine with aromas of dark cherry, red fruit, vanilla, and spice, and flavors of black cherry, plum, and leather. It has a long and smooth finish with firm tannins.
