Its nose is flattering, with shimmering notes of blackberry, medlar jam, and raspberry jelly blending with elegant impressions of tobacco and a sweet, fresh nuance of licorice, candied lemon peel, and cocoa powder.

93 James Suckling

A youthful wine full of fruit, showing intense fresh roses, black cherries and plums. The generous nose is supported by a lush, supple palate with medium body. Velvety tannins with a chalkier finish and refreshing length.
92 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Showing a soothing dark color and rich concentration, the Marchesi Antinori 2022 Chianti Classico Riserva Villa Antinori draws its fruit from across the appellation. This is a silky, satiny wine with good fruit and dimension and an accessible personality. It closes with sweet tannins and a hint of elegant chalkiness for good measure.
