The Marchese Antinori Chianti is a stealth value. Since 2011 this wine is made from the same vineyard as the vaunted Tignanello. It is a Super Tuscan hiding in Chianti Classico Riserva's clothing, and pricing. Much like an excellent second label Bordeaux, this wine follows a similar script. Grapes that are of exceptional quality that can't make their way into the 'grand vin' but are too good to simply discard go into making a superb wine at an entry point price.
With a nod to its big brother, Tignanello, this wine is mostly Sangiovese with a dollop of Cabernet Sauvignon
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
A harmonious red, offering an expression of cherry, blackberry and floral aromas and flavors offset by a vibrant, well-integrated structure. Shows iron, tobacco, smoke and a hint of wild herbs, which weigh in as this evolves on the palate toward a lingering aftertaste. Delivers finesse and energy. (BS)
Antonio Galloni: 93 Points
The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Marchese Antinori is rich, layered and exceptionally polished. This is an especially serious vintage for the Marchese Antinori. All of the fruit comes from the Antinori family's Tignanello estate. Silky tannins wrap around a core of dark red cherry/plum, spice, leather and tobacco. There's tremendous weight, power and depth, that much is pretty clear.
