THE RED OF CASA ANTINORI IN THE LARGE FORMAT Villa Antinori , one of the best known and appreciated labels by the general public, is also offered in the Magnum version, more suited to aging and to make a good impression on the table. Sangiovese stands out in its blend with 55% followed by Cabernet Sauvignon with 25%, Merlot with 15% and Syrah with 5%. With the appropriate winemaking techniques all the aromatic and coloring substances have been extracted from these grapes. The consequent assembly and aging in barriques of various origins has given the wine international references and at the same time a strong territorial link that expresses all its "Tuscan character".
Ruby red, intense notes of plum, cherry and raspberry are perceived on the nose, combined with notes of undergrowth and spices. Its roundness and thickness stand out on the palate. A wine of great pleasure and depth, characterized by an exuberant fruit aftertaste. For the whole meal, it goes well with rich first courses typical of Tuscan cuisine. Try it with a pasta with sausages.
A symbolic wine of a territory, of a region and perhaps of an entire country, the "vintage" Brunello di Montalcino produced at Greppo continues, year after year, harvest after harvest, to represent an icon of winemaking tradition and perfection stylistic.
Ideal for accompanying toasts at dessert, it expresses all its talent with pastries, leavened desserts, fruit or jam tarts, fruit salads.
We dedicate the Cuvée Franco Ziliani Franciacorta 2008 to you, dad. It was you who insisted that the first bottle be called "Pinot di Franciacorta", that that wine was inextricably linked to its territory starting from the name. And right in the name now you and Franciacorta are one in this Cuvée. We include here the best Chardonnay from the Arzelle vineyard in the 2008 vintage, aged in the bottle for eleven years because it is in the long refinement that the most excellent quality is expressed, without dosage, so that only the essence of Franciacorta stands out.
The Chardonnay grapes intended for the production of this refined Trentodoc are grown in the suitable vineyard hills overlooking the Trentino capital. The Classic Method applied on this precious base forges a harmonious, elegant and complex sparkling wine, with an unmistakable style. Cesarini Sforza Brut is vinified in steel and, after the draft, maturation begins on the yeasts for 24 months.
