Chianti Classico

Medium

Cork

One of Italy’s most famous wine companies, Antinori was established in 1385. Still family-owned, it’s now run by the 26th generation, with Albeira Antinori at the helm. The Antinoris have been serious landowners in Chianti Classico since 1900, when Albeira’s great-grandfather Piero bought several vineyards, including the Tignanello estate. In fact, as of 2011, grapes for this Riserva come exclusively from this illustrious property – though even prior to this it was a significant component. Michaela Morris: An evolved nose of tobacco, leather, cedar and dried cherry. Very perfumed in the mouth, with lots of fine-grained and integrated tannins still holding it up. Sara Bachiorri: Evolved flavours of dried fruit, liquorice and tobacco. Elegant and balanced, smooth tannins and good acidity. An entertaining wine. Michelle Cherutti-Kowal MW: Layers of dried herbs, clove, mushrooms and red cherries. Palate still showing good concentration. Holding well.
