The 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva Marchese Antinori is particularly strong this year. Red cherry, plum, blood orange and pomegranate infuse the 2021 with notable depth. French oak is better integrated than in the past. There's less extraction today and quite a bit more finesse. This is a terrific showing from Antinori. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2024)

Apparently I had this a few years ago. I still find it a delight. Toothsome, if wine is allowed to have that descriptor. Balsamic and not-sweet blackberry/fig jam. Enough weight and enough acid to keep it spritely. Omg love a good Lambrusco. It’s just the thing you need to bring some pizzazz without platitude sometimes. — a year ago
Ripe cherries, dried strawberry, licorice, rose petal, tar, and spice. Very elegant and refined. Beautiful, intoxicating nose. This still has room to develop more with age. — a month ago
Jul 2024: PnP ready, just a few minutes in glass is enough, lots of plums, herbs, soft tannins and good acidity, lacks a wow effect — 8 years ago
Fresh and satisfying, hints of tropical fruit but well balanced. — 4 months ago
Bold, dry, smooth. Great with pizza! — 7 months ago
Paired this with a homemade Sweet Potato Gnocchi. One of the smoothest, full-flavored wines I have ever drank — 9 months ago

Pale gold in color; honeydew, pear, and orange peel on the nose; high acidity; tastes like lemon zest, pears, and saline with a long finish. Nellie likes it and I do too. — 6 days ago
