Antinori Villa Toscana IGT 2003
Red Wine
from Tuscany, Italy
winemaker's notes:
60% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 5% Syrah
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 Niccolò, 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.
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.

Very smooth with just a hint of berries. Taste is very soothing and light to the pallet. We had it wit a great fillet mignon, what a treat.
