Toscana IGT Villa Antinori Rosso 2018

Villa Antinori Rosso is the result of the Antinori family's centuries-old experience in the production of wine, capable of bringing together several varieties of grapes in the same bottle, extracting from each of them the best characteristics of the sensorial heritage supplied.

It is obtained mainly from Sangiovese grapes, to which small quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah are added. 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 undergoes malolactic fermentation, then refines in oak barrels and in the bottle, perfecting its organoleptic characteristics.

Intense ruby red in color, it opens to the nose with a complex bouquet in which hints of ripe fruit, cherry and plum prevail over all, accompanied by an elegant spice based on vanilla and pepper due to the passage in wood. On the palate it is round and full-bodied, with sweet, soft and velvety tannins, concluding on a pleasantly long and savory finish.

Ideal to be served in the company of game dishes, Villa Antinori Rosso goes perfectly with red meats.
