1999 Antinori Villa Antinori Classico Riserva

Antinori has produced Chianti Classico, one of the most widely known wines in the world, for centuries. This particular wine was introduced in 1928 by Niccolò, Piero Antinori’s father, as the first Chianti produced specifically to improve with age. Villa Antinori Riserva, which has become the bench-mark for Chianti Classico Riserva, is only produced in good vintage years. The wine’s label, which had remained unchanged since 1928, was slightly restyled with the 1990 vintage.

Tasting Note: Made from 90% Sangiovese and10% Canaiolo. Deep ruby-red in colour with garnet tones, rich in extracts. Tannins yet balanced, soft, and stylish, with a fine, lingering finish.
Alc/Vol: 13.0%
