Reserve the Premium Wines We Are Tasting
Antinori Cervaro della Sala 2022
$109.99
Cervaro della Sala is crafted from Chardonnay and Grechetto grapes, harvested overnight to preserve their aromas. Chardonnay undergoes brief cold maceration, fermentation in French oak, and aging on lees for 6 months, while Grechetto ferments and ages in stainless steel. The wine is assembled and rests for 10 months in Castello della Sala's historic cellars. Bright straw yellow with greenish reflections, it offers citrus, exotic fruit, butter, and toasted notes. On the palate, it's savory, fresh, and long-lasting with exceptional aging potential.
97 Points: James Suckling - Full-bodied with layered tropical fruit, flint, toast, and bright acidity.
95 Points: Robert Parker - Orchard fruit, honey, and flinty notes with refined structure and aromatic intensity.
Toscana - Antinori Tignanello 2021
$207.99
Tignanello was the first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques, the first contemporary red wine blended with untraditional varieties (specifically Cabernet) and one of the first red wines in the Chianti Classico region that didn’t use white grapes. Tignanello is a milestone. It’s produced with a selection of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
