Villa Antinori was originally produced in 1928 by Marchese Niccolò Antinori as a Chianti Classico. The 2018 vintage is a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, featuring ripe red and black berry fruits, with sweet spices notes and well-integrated oak from 12 months of aging in barriques. Velvety and plummy on the palate with juicy dark fruits, liquorice and cloves, balanced by mineral acidity. The tannins are ripe but solid, allowing the wine to age further. The 14% alcohol leads to a warm and long finish.
