#7 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2023
The 2020 Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva is an intense ruby red color. Expressive on the nose with fresh red fruit and floral notes. The rich bouquet is accented by sweet notes of white chocolate and spice. The palate is smooth and supple with elegant flavors with vibrant tannins and a persistent finish. 90% Sangiovese sourced from their prized Tignanello vineyard, the wine is blended with a small amount of Merlot and Cab Franc and aged in french oak barriques for 14 months.
