This 123-acre estate, planted with 100% Sangiovese, is one of the treasures of the Piero Antinori empire. The dense ruby/purple-colored 1997 Chianti Classico Riserva is the finest wine I have tasted from this relatively new estate (the average age of the vines is a lowly 12 years). The bouquet offers sweet black cherry, strawberry, and plum aromas. Medium to full-bodied and concentrated, with low acidity and ripe tannin, it is a voluptuous, pure, super-concentrated yet accessible 1997 Chianti Classico. Enjoy it over the next 7-8 years.
