Villa Antinori Rosso

Villa Antinori was introduced in 1928 by Marchese Niccolò Antinori as the first Chianti Classico that could age and improve over time. In 2001, Piero Antinori inaugurated a newer interpretation of Villa Antinori that is labeled with the appellation Toscana IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) produced with the finest selection of grapes coming exclusively from farms owned in Tuscany. Villa Antinori offers a deep ruby red color. The nose is intense and complex, characterized by red fruit notes coupled with hints of leather, spice, and vanilla. The palate is full-bodied and round with supple and velvety tannins.

NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive Wine and is not eligible for discounts, member pricing, or member guarantee. Limited Availability.

WINE REGION:

Outline of Toscana IGT

Toscana IGT

Italy's rich food and wine heritage is nowhere better demonstrated than historic Tuscany. You can eat and drink like a king here—ideally on a grand terrazza overlooking medieval hillsides strewn with olive and cypress trees. From mouthwatering whites for sipping with antipasti to sophisticated reds that elevate the meat dishes of Florence (and of course leaving room for sweet Vin Santo with dessert), Tuscany has it all. Sangiovese is the region's star grape, giving us not just Chianti, but also Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and the epic Super Tuscan blends. The IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) classification system was created to provide more freedom and ease for winemaking within Italy. Wines under the IGT classification are regulated on the region of origin—where within the country grapes are grown—instead of varietals or wine styles as DOC and DOCG laws focus on.

TASTING NOTES:

Leather

Vanilla

Cherry

A beautiful wine that tastes like the hills of Tuscany. It's ruby red with an intense and complex nose. Full of red fruit, leather, spice, and vanilla, this is a wine that unfolds over a few glasses, and the supple, velvety tannins linger while you savor each sip.
