| RISERVA CHIANTI CLASSICO 2021 DOCG |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
VILLA ANTINORI |
| This ripe elegant blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Merlot is still youthful but surprisingly accessible at present. Deep intense purple-red colour, it has an intense, faintly floral (roses), very gently spicy, ripe, plum-cherry-cassis nose with some sandalwood-mineral notes. Dry, medium-full bodied and nicely structured with slightly spicy, fairly dense, ripe, plum-cherry-cassis flavours which are followed up by a lingering, cedary, sandalwood-tinged finish. It has 14% alcohol and under 3 g/L residual sugar with lot number L3214 on the lower part of the glass bottle. |

| TASTING NOTE: The 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva Villa Antinori is laced with black cherry, plum, new leather, licorice and spice. Ample and expansive in feel, the 2021 is wonderfully generous, not to mention incredibly delicious. Fruit sources are from some of the most coveted sites in the appellation.
