VILLA ANTINORI ROSSO 2023 DESCRIPTION

The Villa Antinori is a Red wine that comes from the years of experience of the winery team in creating blends where balance and harmony are the key to a satisfying and impactful drink, without flaws. A label where the great Sangiovese, a grape that has been particularly valued by Antinori over the decades, is accompanied by a trio of international grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, carefully selected and blended in the final cut, ensuring that softness and roundness are the result of the relationship between the territory and human effort.

This Villa Antinori Rosso is born from a skillful blend where the most representative indigenous red grape of the entire Tuscan terroir, Sangiovese, joins three of the most cultivated international grapes worldwide: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. After the harvest, strictly manual and aimed at ensuring only the highest quality, the clusters are softly pressed, then fermented and macerated in steel containers; followed by the maturation phase, carried out in barrique for 12 months, and bottling.

maturation, carried out in barrique for 12 months, and bottling.

The Villa Antinori Rosso is an IGT Toscana that takes on an intense color in the glass reminiscent of ruby red. Ripe fruit, sweet spices, and a slight hint of withered flowers: these are the aromas that make up the olfactory skeleton that envelops the nose from the very first moments. On the palate, it is round, harmonious, characterized by a straightforward sip, decidedly soft and enveloping; it finishes with a finale marked by excellent persistence. A bottle with which Antinori allows you to savor flavors and sensations that tell of the perfect synergy between land and man, and that is truly enjoyable alongside a delicious meat grill.

When to drink
Wine good to drink now, but that can have a beautiful evolution after resting for a while in your cellar
Glass
Medium open goblet
Perfect for young and medium bodied red wines which don't require excessive oxygenation to open. The opening, slightly tighter than the body of the glass, favors the concentration of aromas towards the nose, enhancing the perception of aromas and limiting the dispersion
Longevity
You can let it rest in the cellar for 3-4 years without worry
