Villa Cigliano Chianti Classico represents an expression of excellence within the prestigious wine production of Marchesi Antinori. Originating from the historic Villa del Cigliano estate, located in the heart of Chianti Classico, this wine embodies the long tradition and deep knowledge of the terroir that distinguish the Antinori family. Composed mainly of Sangiovese, the native grape par excellence of Chianti, Villa Cigliano benefits from a unique terroir, characterized by clayey-calcareous soils rich in skeleton, exposed to the south-west and at an altitude that varies from 300 to 400 meters above sea level. These soil and climate conditions give the wine an aromatic complexity and a tannic structure that evolve harmoniously over time. The vinification of Villa Cigliano is carried out with great care and attention to detail. After an alcoholic fermentation in steel, the wine ages for a variable period in large Slavonian oak barrels, allowing a perfect integration between the fruity notes of the Sangiovese and the spicy and toasted nuances of the wood. It follows a further refinement in the bottle before being released for sale.

Intense ruby ​​red color, with garnet reflections that intensify with aging. Complex and persistent on the nose, with a bouquet that ranges from ripe red berries (cherry, blackberry) to spicy (vanilla, black pepper), toasted (tobacco, leather) and balsamic (eucalyptus) notes. Balanced and structured taste, with dense and velvety tannins that envelop a broad and persistent palate. The well-integrated freshness and acidity give the wine great longevity. The finish is long and persistent, with returns of red fruit, spices and mineral notes. Villa Cigliano Chianti Classico is a versatile wine that pairs perfectly with a wide range of dishes. It excels in combination with grilled or braised red meats, game, mature cheeses and tasty first courses.
