Villa Antinori Rosso is the result of the Antinori family's centuries-old experience in winemaking, capable of combining multiple grape varieties in the same bottle, extracting the best sensory characteristics from each one.

It is predominantly made from Sangiovese grapes, with small quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah added. Following manual harvesting of the grapes, which takes place between late September and early October, the bunches undergo gentle pressing and the must is transferred to stainless steel tanks where fermentation occurs, with an 8-12 day maceration on the skins. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, then ages in oak barriques and in the bottle, perfecting its organoleptic characteristics.

Intense ruby red in color, it opens on the nose with a complex bouquet dominated by ripe fruit notes, especially cherry and plum, accompanied by an elegant spiciness of vanilla and pepper due to its time in wood. On the palate, it is round and full-bodied, with sweet, soft, and velvety tannins, concluding with a pleasantly long and savory finish.

Ideal to serve with game dishes, Villa Antinori Rosso pairs perfectly with red meats.
