2016 | Antinori | Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva

Black currant, cedar, olive, iron and tobacco aromas and flavors suggest Cabernet in the blend, in a positive sense. This red is fluid, elegant and firmly structured, with fine balance and a long, gripping finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva Villa Antinori is a linear and broad red wine that would pair with simple meat or pasta dishes. You get tons of fruit here with cherry, blackberry and a touch of soft baking spice woven in on the close.
