Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva 2020 is an intense ruby red color. Expressive on the nose with fresh notes of red fruit that lead over to floral hints of mallow and lavender. The rich bouquet is accented by sweet notes of white chocolate that give rise to piquant spicy aromas. Entry on the palate is smooth and mouth filling, followed by elegant flavors with vibrant tannins that express the typical energy of the vineyards of origin. The finish is long, flavorful, and persistent echoing notes of white pepper, cocoa powder, and flowers.

A sleek, elegant red, with fine purity to the aromas of cherry, black currant, iron, olive and tobacco. Shows new oak on the palate, lending both spiciness and structure offset by ample fruit and texture. Ends with a balanced, complex finish. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2026 through 2047. 5,000 cases imported.

This is like a Brunello in its structure with excellent length. Racy and focused. Aromas of violets and dried flowers with hints of bark and dark cherries. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins and a gorgeous finish. One for now or the cellar. Drinkable but better after 2026
