Product details
Crafted by the esteemed house of Antinori, renowned for its centuries-long legacy in Tuscan viticulture, this creation exemplifies the pinnacle of Italian craftsmanship. The 2020 vintage showcases a harmonious blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, sourced from the estate's meticulously tended vineyards. Embracing traditional practices, the creation undergoes an extended maturation period, allowing it to develop depth, structure, and complexity. The result is a refined expression that reflects both the rich heritage of the Chianti Classico region and the careful attention devoted to every stage of its evolution.
The experience begins with an intense ruby-red visual impression and an expressive bouquet of fresh red fruit, interwoven with delicate floral hints of mallow and lavender. Subtle sweet notes reminiscent of white chocolate gradually give way to piquant spice aromas, creating a multi-layered sensory profile. On the palate, it is smooth and full-bodied, with vibrant, well-integrated tannins that convey the energy of the vineyards from which it originates. The finish is long and persistent, echoing nuances of white pepper, cocoa powder, and floral undertones, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and vitality.
