Marchese Antinori Chianti Riserva is a still red wine with the Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin (DOCG).

Produced only in the finest years from Sangiovese (90%) and Cabernet Franc (10%) grapes, carefully selected both by bunch and by berry.

A wine with a long tradition, produced exclusively in the Tuscan Chianti region.

The vines are trained using the Guyot, spurred cordon, and Tuscan arched training methods in marly, sandstone, calcareous soils with little clay or sand, located at an altitude of no more than 700 meters. A microclimate that allows the grapes to ripen slowly contributes to the distinctive chemical and organoleptic characteristics of this special Tuscan wine.

The Marchese Antinori Chianti Riserva from the Antinori winery is made from grapes grown on the Tenuta Tignanello vineyards and is a quality wine highly regarded in Italy and abroad.

To produce this wine, vinification and aging take place separately in Hungarian and French oak barrels.

After destemming, the grapes are gently pressed and then transferred to stainless steel tanks. Here, the must undergoes maceration through gentle pumping over and déléstage, processes that preserve the sweetness of the tannins. This is followed by alcoholic fermentation, racking, transfer to barriques, and bottling. After bottling, it continues to age in the bottle for one year. Intense ruby ​​red. On the nose, notes of ripe red fruit combine with pleasant hints of vanilla and spice. On the palate, it is enveloping and balanced, yet lively and deep, with soft, silky tannins. A wine of character, with an excellent territorial identity, characterised by a long and persistent finish.
