Note di degustazione
Here's an interesting bit of news. This wine is a blend of fruit from four villages in Chianti Classico. However, those single vineyards will soon be bottled as their own distinct Gran Selezione wines. For now, we have the 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Villa Antinori. This was a productive vintage that resulted in good yields thanks to abundant rainfall at the beginning of the season. The wine's tension and firmness remind me of the classic 2016 vintage, but 2019 ultimately shows more richness and accessibility. This wine is layered with dark fruit, crushed stone and pretty spice.

Ripe and brooding aromas of graphite, kirsch, mocha, and candied lavender emerge from the 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Villa Antinori, with a generous yet balanced frame. It is full bodied and approachable, with polished tannins and notes of black raspberry, turned soil, and cedar. Allow a few more years in the cellar and drink 2025-2037.
This is the first year the Riserva includes fruit from newly acquired vineyards in San Sano and Capraia. The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Villa Antinori is stellar. In fact, the 2019 is the best vintage of this wine I have tasted and that comes through in the wine's darkness and overall intensity. Black cherry, leather, spice, menthol and licorice are all dialed up big time.
