WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva 2020 is ruby red in color. On the nose, aromas of cherries and cotton candy are complemented by hints of violets and blood orange. The palate is smooth and supple with persistent flavors of dark fruit, tobacco, dark chocolate and spice.
TASTING NOTES:
This red shines for its elegance and purity of fruit, offering cherry, strawberry, rose and a flash of earth matched to a firm, well-integrated structure. Charming and approachable now, yet has a firm base of tannins too. Shows terrific length. Drink now through 2042.
- Wine Spectator, 93 pts.
A round and fresh Chianti Classico with cherry, berry and orange peel character. Medium body. Hint of vanilla. Open grained tannins. Drink now.
- James Suckling, 92 pts.
Vanilla, coconut and herbs followed by pencil shavings and ground pepper and finally strawberries and cherries arrive in that order on the nose, with the palate mirroring and revealing the same components in reverse order, against taut tannins.
