Chianti Classico Riserva, Villa Antinori 2021 (750 ml)

93 bod. - Wine Spectator

Villa Antinori Riserva je korak naprijed u kompleksnosti i intenzitetu u odnosu na Pèppoli. Sa dva različita imanja u Chinati Classico, a sazrijeva dodatnu godinu dana prije puštanja u promet. Zrelo i pikantno, otvara se aromama crvenog voća (trešnja, šljiva) dopunjenim notama grilovanog bilja, balzamika, kože i duvana. Arome bobičastog voća i zemlje na nepcima podržava čvrsta struktura i gipki tanini. Mirisi i ukusi su izbalansirani, sa blagom kiselošću, što je tipično za sortu Sangiovese.  Odlični dodatak pastama i jelima od paradajza, ali se uparuje i sa živinskim mesom, jagnjetinom i crvenim mesom (sve dok nije premasno). 

93 points - Wine Spectator

A step up in complexity and intensity from the Pèppoli, the Villa Antinori Riserva is from two different estates in Chinati Classico and is aged an extra year before release.  Ripe and spicy, it opens with aromas of red fruit (cherry, plum) complemented by notes of grilled herbs, balsamic, leather and tobacco. On the palate, flavours of berries and earth are supported by a firm structure and supple tannins. The flavours are balanced, with light acidity - typical of the Sangiovese grape.  A great complement to pastas and tomato-based dishes, it also pairs with poultry, lamb and red meat (as long as not too fatty).
