  87  
87 pts from Wine Spectator! Balanced and silky, with blackberry and raspberry character. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a fresh finish. Needs to soften a little. Give it time. Sangiovese, with a dash of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Best after 2008. 233,330 cases made. JS Oct 07 Issue

Intense ruby red colour. Fruity hints on the nose blend well with the toasty, chocolate and vanilla notes from ageing in wood. A complex, harmonious and well-structured wine with smooth tannins and persistant fruity hints.

History. 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 Niccol=, 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. Winery Notes
