This is a rich, modern Chianti that marries beautifully ripe cherry fruit with well-judged smoky oak notes. The opulence on the palate is tempered by savoury notes of clove and a firm structure supporting the plump fruit.
The Marquis Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva has an intense ruby red colour. The nose notes of ripe red fruit combine with pleasant hints of vanilla and spices. On the palate it is enveloping, balanced, but also lively and deep with soft and silky tannins.
