Villa Antinori Rosso Toscana IGT - 2020

75 cl

Alcohol content: 13.5% vol.

Grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese, Syrah

Vinification:

The grapes - all from our own production - are destemmed after the harvest, gently pressed and fermented for twelve days at a temperature below 30°C in steel tanks. By the end of the year, the young wine has completed its malolactic fermentation and is matured for twelve months in French, American and Slavonian barriques. The wine then rests in the bottle for at least eight months before being released for sale.

Tasting note:

Rich ruby colour with violet reflections. Pleasing, almost beguiling nose with notes of cassis, ripe cherries, some vanilla, nougat and dried herbs. Very supple and medium-bodied on the palate, with bright flavours of ripe berries, sour cherries, fine wood and warm spices. The finely polished tannins and long finish make the Villa Antinori a "small Supertuscan"

Villa Antinori:

The year was 1928 when Niccolò Antinori, father of Piero Antinori, decided to give this wine the name of the family's villa to represent his personal interpretation of the Chianti and Tuscan identity. To explain the origin of "Villa", Niccolò, Piero Antinori's father, wrote: "It was important to establish the name Antinori ... which, in some circles, was still little known, and so I decided on the name Villa Antinori".
