Antinori masters this red wine with brilliant craftsmanship and intuition in the blooming and fertile landscape of Tuscany.
Grape variety: Sangiovese
Vinification: Only the best grapes selected from Badia a Passignano winery are used for this wonderful Chianti. After harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed and immediately fermented in 50 hl wooden fermentation containers and stainless steel tanks. Aging and refining for approx. 14 months in new or one to two year old French and Hungarian barriques, followed by a further twelve months of bottle aging.
Tasting notes: Ruby colour with purple reflections. Expressive, intense notes of black, ripe cherries, plums, fresh flowers, cloves and dark chocolate. Dense on the palate, with lots of melting and finely woven tannins. The aromas of the nose are accompanied by some tobacco and cedar wood. Clear, straightforward and precise. Long lingering and elegant finish.
Alcohol content: 14% vol.
Food pairing: fine pasta dishes, meat.
Serve at 16°-18°C
