Description
Marchese Antinori Chianti Riserva is a still red wine with a Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin (DOCG). Produced only in the best years from Sangiovese grapes (90%) and Cabernet Franc grapes (10%), carefully selected both by bunch and by berry. A wine with a long tradition that is produced exclusively in the Tuscan Chianti region. The vines are trained using the Guyot, spurred cordon, and Tuscan arched training methods in marly-arenaceous, calcareous, and not very clayey and sandy soils, located at an altitude of no more than 700 meters. Thanks to a microclimate that allows the grapes to ripen slowly, thus determining the particular chemical and organoleptic characteristics of this special Tuscan wine, Marchese Antinori Chianti Riserva from the Antinori cellars takes shape from the grapes of the Tenuta Tignanello vineyards and is a quality wine product highly appreciated in Italy and abroad. To produce this wine, vinification and aging take place separately in Hungarian and French oak barriques. After being destemmed, the grapes are softly pressed and then transferred into stainless steel tanks. Here, the must undergoes a maceration process through gentle pumping over and déléstage, processes that maintain the sweetness of the tannins. Alcoholic fermentation, racking, transfer to barriques, and bottling follow. After bottling, the wine continues to mature in the bottle for a year.

The company's vineyards include two treasures: the Tignanello vineyard and the Solaia vineyard, which extend over the same hillside on soils derived from Pliocene marine marl with limestone and schist and enjoy warm days and cool nights during the growing season. These two vineyards produce Solaia and Tignanello wines, two wines capable of initiating what is known as the renaissance of Italian wine. Read more

| Origin | San Casciano Val di Pesa (FI) |
| Wine making | Upon arrival in the cellar, the grapes were destemmed and then softly pressed; the must was transferred to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place, which lasted about a week. Maceration was managed with very gentle pumping over and délestage to ensure intense extraction while preserving the elegance and sweetness of the tannins. |
| Aging | At the end of the malolactic fermentation, which took place spontaneously by the end of the year, the blended wine was aged in French and Hungarian oak barriques for about a year. The Marchese Antinori was then bottled and aged in the bottle for a further 12 months. |
