Tasting notes
90% Sangiovese . Velvet texture but good freshness. Very obviously Sangiovese. Racy, aromatic, lively and silky even if less fleshy than some. Relatively high acidity. This wine is very appetising and improved in the glass. (JR)

The 2001 Chianti Classico Riserva Tenute Marchese Antinori, a mouthful of a name, is essentially a selection of the best Sangiovese grapes of the house’s Chianti Classico vineyards, with the sole exception of the Badia a Passignano. A solid ruby in color, its nose of red berry fruit, leather, and game is followed by full flavors, plush and classy in their flow and with a rising intensity and density on the finish. Drink: 2006-2016. Importer: Remy Amerique, New York, NY; tel. (212) 424-2202
