Description
Villa Antinori Rosso is the result of the Antinori family's centuries-old experience in the production of wine, capable of bringing together several grape varieties in the same bottle, extracting from each of them the best characteristics of the sensorial heritage supplied.
It is mainly made from Sangiovese grapes, to which are added small quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Following the manual harvest of the grapes, which took place between the end of September and the first days of October, the bunches are subjected to a soft pressing and the must is transferred to steel tanks where fermentation takes place, with maceration on the skins of 8-12 days. The wine performs malolactic fermentation, then ages in oak barrels and in the bottle, perfecting its organoleptic characteristics.
Intense ruby red in colour, it opens to the nose with a complex bouquet in which hints of ripe fruit, cherry and plum prevail above all, accompanied by an elegant spice based on vanilla and pepper due to the ageing in wood. On the palate it reveals round and full-bodied, with sweet, soft and velvety tannins, concluding on a pleasantly long and savoury finish.
Ideal to be served in the company of game dishes, Villa Antinori Rosso goes perfectly with red meats.
