Antinori's Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva is mostly Sangiovese with a small share of Cabernet Sauvignon. Sangiovese brings sour cherry and dried herbs, and the Cabernet adds plum and cedar. Oak ageing rounds the tannins without dulling the bright Chianti acidity. It is savoury and food-driven, best from about four to twelve years after the vintage.
