Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva Sangiovese Blend

"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. 6,000 cases imported." -BS, 10/31/23. 92 Points - Vinous. "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." -AG, Jun/2023. 91 Points - Wine Enthusiast. "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." -DC, 9/1/23.
