VILLA ANTINORI |
| This 2022 blend of 90% Sangiovese, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot is still youthful but surprisingly accessible at present. Fairly intense purple-red in colour, it has an intense, faintly floral (roses), slightly spicy, ripe, plum-cherry-cassis nose with some sandalwood-minerally iron rust notes. Very dry, medium-full bodied and still very youthful, it has slightly spicy, nicely textured, plum-cherry-cassis flavours which are followed up by a lingering, gently cedary, sandalwood-tinge finish. This Riserva has 14% alcohol and under 3 g/L residual sugar with lot number L4309 on the lower part of the glass bottle. It still could use another year or so in bottle to integrate/evolve - you may to decant if serving now in a large glass. Great with steak, roast lamb, duck and tomato-based pasta dishes. |

| TASTING NOTE: 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. Drink or hold [into late 2030s]. Score - 93 (jamessuckling.com, March 12, 2025) |
