The 2023 Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva is a distinguished Tuscan red crafted primarily from Sangiovese grown on the renowned Tenuta Tignanello estate in the heart of Chianti Classico. Produced by the historic Marchesi Antinori family, this vintage offers fragrant aromas of black cherry, wild berries and violet, complemented by hints of cedar, cocoa and delicate spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine, supple tannins and vibrant acidity. Layers of ripe red and black fruit are balanced by savoury notes, subtle oak influence and a persistent, refined finish that highlights the elegance and structure of classic Chianti Classico Riserva.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Chianti Classico Riserva for those who enjoy refined Sangiovese with depth and ageing potential. Pair it with grilled bistecca, slow-cooked lamb, tomato-based pasta, mushroom risotto or aged Pecorino. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar through 2035 for added complexity.
