Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva Magnum

This Chianti Classico Riserva comes exclusively from the Tenuta Tignanello — one of the most famous estates in Tuscany, which has stood for the quality of Sangiovese in Chianti Classico for decades. Twelve months of barrique aging give the wine structure and depth without masking its origin.

In the glass, it shows dark cherry, plum, and a hint of dried herbs — typical for Sangiovese on the Galestro and Alberese soils of Chianti Classico. The vanilla from the wood aging blends in subtly, the tannin is present but well integrated. The finish is long and spicy.

The magnum bottle matures more slowly than the standard bottle — the ratio of wine volume to oxygen permeability is more favorable, which gives the wine more time and uniformity during development.
