The 1997 Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva (90% Sangiovese and 10% Canaiolo, aged in large French oak casks) reveals the vintage's super-ripeness as well as abundant quantities of black currant fruit mixed with cherry liqueur, tobacco, saddle leather, and spice aromas. (RP)

Notes

Long one of the flagship wines of this historic estate, Villa Antinori's roots stretch back to 1928. In accordance with denomination regulations, the blend often includes a small portion of other permitted grapes — in this case, 10% Canaiolo.
