Riserva

1991 Chianti Classico Red Blend

Marchesi Antinori Riserva is a magnificent red blend from the historic Chianti Classico region, showcasing the best of Italian winemaking. With a deep ruby color, this vintage exudes elegance and complexity. The wine presents a full-bodied character complemented by high acidity that invigorates the palate, creating a vibrant tasting experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of dark cherry, ripe plum, and a hint of blackcurrant, intertwined with subtle undertones of leather and spice that reflect its age. The tannins are notable yet well-integrated, providing structure while allowing the wine's rich flavors to shine. This delightful offering is dry and showcases a remarkable balance, making it a perfect partner for robust dishes or a leisurely evening by the fireplace.

Italy

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
