Detailed Description

It displays aromas of blackberries, black cherries, blackcurrants, mulberries and blueberries, complemented by black tea, gingerbread spice and cigar box. On the palate, the Villa Antinori Rosso Toscana from Marchesi Antinori opens wonderfully dry, grippy and aromatic.

Producer Information

Antinori is a Tuscan-based wine company that is one of the largest and most prominent in Italy. The Chianti Classico region forms the focus of operations, though the company has an estate in Umbria and international interests including Antica Napa Valley and a controlling stake in Vitis Metamorfosis in Romania. Around 20 million bottles are produced annually across 150 labels. The history of the house dates back to the 14th Century, after the silk-weaving family moved to Florence and began to cultivate vines. In 1900, Antinori added the Tignanello vineyard to its portfolio, and Niccolò Antinori and his son Piero began to experiement with then unheard-of winemaking techniques and grape varieties. The first vintage of Tignanello was released in 1971.
