Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva Tenuta Tignanello DOCG 2023 is a deeply coloured, elegant Chianti Classico Riserva from the famed Tignanello estate, showcasing pure Sangiovese character polished by a touch of Cabernet Franc and careful oak ageing.

In the glass it’s intense ruby red, with expressive aromas of black cherries, small red berries and raspberry jelly woven through broom flower and violet, then layered with ginger, cocoa, pastry‑cream and cedar spice from barrique maturation. The palate is silky yet savoury – beautifully balanced between a plush, velvety texture and a savoury, gently salty finish, with supple, close‑knit tannins and a persistent aftertaste defined by chocolate and powdered sugar notes over red fruit.

Food‑wise, Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva 2023 is built for serious Tuscan fare – think bistecca alla Fiorentina, braised beef, lamb, game dishes, truffle pasta or aged Pecorino, where its structure and acidity shine. It’s a characterful, ageworthy Riserva (optimal drinking roughly 5–10 years from vintage) that sits comfortably alongside modern super‑Tuscan expectations while remaining authentically Chianti Classico in feel.
