About this Item

Antinori
Chianti Classico Riserva 2017
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
The Antinori family has produced wine in Tuscany since 1385, making them one of the longest continuously running family wine businesses in the world. The Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva is sourced exclusively from the family's Tignanello estate in Panzano in Chianti and is a Sangiovese-dominant blend with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, designed as a more accessible expression of this iconic hillside terroir alongside the celebrated Tignanello Super Tuscan. The 2017 was a warm and expressive Chianti Classico vintage producing open-knit, approachable wines of good character. Antonio Galloni from Vinous gave it a rating of 91.

Critics Ratings

“The 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva Marchese Antinori emerges exclusively from the Antinori family's iconic Tignanello estate. Supple and inviting, the 2017 will be very easy to enjoy upon release. Super-ripe dark cherry, espresso, licorice and sweet spice give this racy, open-knit Riserva a good bit of character. The flamboyant style of the year is very much in evidence.” - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 91/100 (Aug 2020)
