Villa Antinori Rosso 0.375 2019

Region: Toscana IGT   Varity: Sangiovese&Cabernet Sauvignon&Merlot&Syrah   This wine was first created and marketed by Marquis Niccolò Antinori, father of Piero Antinori, in 1928 and was the first Chianti intended as a long-lasting wine capable of improving with age. In 2001 Piero Antinori inaugurated a new phase for Villa Antinori, which became a Tuscan IGT produced from a selection of better grapes grown exclusively in the vineyards of the Antinori proprietary estates in Tuscany. The design of the label has remained as it was in 1928, with only minimal adjustments, first in 1990 and then in 2001. The wine is aged 12 months in oak barrels and then 8 more months in the bottle.   Tastinng Notes:   The wine is ruby red in color with intense aromas of cherries, mint, and, particularly, chocolate. On the palate the wine is ample in body, supple and with velvety and soft tannins, long and savory.
