Vinification of the Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva by Marchesi Antinori

The grapes for the Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva come from the best wine-growing areas in Tuscany. Here, the vines benefit from optimal climatic conditions. Our vines grow in well-drained, calcareous soils that impart quality and character to the grapes. The harvest is done by hand, carefully selecting only the best grapes. This ensures a high quality that is reflected in the wine.

The vinification begins with a gentle destemming of the grapes. Fermentation then takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, ensuring the freshness and fruitiness of the wine. The maceration, during which the skins remain in contact with the must, is extended over several weeks to optimally extract the tannins and aromas. After the primary fermentation, the wine matures for at least 12 months in French oak barrels. This aging gives the Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva by Marchesi Antinori its elegant structure and complexity.
