Love this...dried red cherries, slight balsamic and thyme...med + acid and chewy tannins....vanilla from oak rounds it with baking spices as well..paired great with the veal parm...

A wonderful Chianti Classico! Deep red (almost purple) color with aromas and flavors of dark cherry, tobacco, leather, vanilla, menthol and cinnamon. Very complex. Rich and long lasting finish, and smooth (but firm) tannins.

Great second label. Dark cherry, leather, tobacco, minerals, crazy acidity. An Alpen High (apologies to J Denver).

I didn't know Antinori did Chianti but @ £23 this is superb value for money & probably the best I've had in this price bracket 👍 way more oomph than your average Chianti 😎 highly recommended!

🐑 Paired with slow cooked shoulder of lamb in mixed wild creamy mushroom sauce

🍇 90% Sangiovese & 10% Cab S

🍷 Deep dark ruby

👃 Soft oak through red & black cherry, redcurrant w/ a smokey undertone pushing a light liquorice & cocoa breeze

👄 Med smooth body of dark & red cherry in med acidity w/ a meaty mocha & liquorice undertone

🎯 Med+ dark cherry, dark cocoa & liquorice finish
