Tasting notes
A blend of 92% Sangiovese, 4% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, the Marchesi Antinori 2022 Chianti Classico Riserva Tenuta Tignanello Marchese Antinori is a wine of energy, brightness and sweet tannins. It shows that Tignanello signature, given that fruit comes from the same estate as the flagship Tignanello. The oak aging comes through, but it remains balanced against the primary character of the wine. It is not excessive on any front, and it shows elegant mineral notes to close.

A youthful wine with aromas of esters, strawberries, red cherries, violets, roses, licorice and toast. The palate is gorgeous, with ripe, vibrant and velvety tannins, tight-knit acidity, a medium to full body and a crisp, super-savory finish. Drinkable now, but best in one to two years.
The 2022 Chianti Classico Riserva Marchese Antinori is terrific. Soft and pliant, with fabulous balance, the 2022 is a total charmer. Antinori's style today, one that favors a lighter hand than in the past, works so well here. Succulent red cherry, spice, new leather and rose petal are front and center. All of this fruit is from Antinori's Tignanello property. It captures all the essence of site in a more approachable style that is undeniably appealing.
