Profile
Product Highlights
Intense ruby red in the glass. The aromatic profile expresses deep primary aromas, with hints of cherry, cherry, small red fruit and elegant spicy tertiary notes, leather and cocoa. On the palate it has structure and body, it's ample and rich, with a concentration of varietal aromas, an intense tannic texture and acidity that refreshes the palate. Persistent finish with velvety tannins.

Expert Reviews
The 2019 vintage was one of the most balanced in recent years in Chianti Classico. Here, as Antonini confessed, there is no intention to make an approachable wine. The color shines in its ruby red tinge; the nose is intensely fresh, flowery and slightly reductive at first, before an orange vert emerges from the depths to overlay black cherry and creamy strawberry. The attack is firm, crunchy and extracted. Fierce acidity supports a youthful cherry fruit expression with enough concentration and a thick finish. Quite austere for 2019, but amazing considering its ability to age. Not an easy Riserva for all.
