2021 Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva

JS93 A racy and refined wine that’s firm and bright, with berries with hints of walnuts and cedar. Sangiovese with cabernet sauvignon and merlot. Shows structure, but drink it now and enjoy.
WA92 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.
