Marchesi Antinori Marchese Chianti Classico Riserva 2021

Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva 2021 is a prestigious red wine produced exclusively from grapes grown on the famed Tenuta Tignanello estate. Often described as sharing the "DNA" of the iconic Tignanello Super Tuscan, this vintage is celebrated for its elegance, vibrant acidity, and refined mineral character. It offers an intense ruby red colour and a complex bouquet of black cherries, raspberries, and violets, complemented by spicy notes of white chocolate, cinnamon, and a hint of iron. On the palate, the wine is smooth and supple, featuring fine-grained tannins and a lengthy, savoury finish marked by notes of plum and tobacco.

95 Points - James Suckling

Impressive cherry and berry fruit with hints of cedar and dried flowers. It’s medium-bodied, firm and bright with a long, nicely tannined finish. This can age, but I like the tension and drive to this now. Baby Tignanello. Sangiovese with 10% cabernet. Drink or hold.

This ripe style is fresh and harmonious, delivering plum, cherry and boysenberry fruit, with accents of earth, iron and eucalyptus. Supple in texture, with a beautifully integrated structure and long, complex aftertaste. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2026 through 2043.
