Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva 2022 (by Tenuta Tignanello)

This red wine originates from Italy, specifically from the historic heartland of the Chianti Classico DOCG region in Tuscany. The Marchesi Antinori family can trace its winemaking history back to 1385, spanning 26 generations of direct management. The winery's philosophy balances a deep respect for Tuscan tradition with a pioneering spirit, notably reinterpreting this historic label—first produced in 1928—as a premium Riserva that showcases the quality and elegance of the Sangiovese grown at their famed Tenuta Tignanello estate.
