2016 Marchesi Antinori Villa Antinori Toscana IGT
#51-19
Always a winner, this Italian Rosso from one of the oldest wineries in Italy, as well as the world, hits the mark once again! You could never go wrong by placing this Toscana alongside almost any Italian entree.
A beautiful red color and a fragrant nose are the openers for this gem from Tuscany. The flavors rush at you with an attack of cherries and blackberries, followed by subtle hints of chocolate and spice. The finish is long and lingering as it sails off into the night. The alcohol content is 13.5%, and Norm's score is 91.
This is a very elegant, yet down to earth red wine, which was perfect for our Chicken and Pasta Alfredo. It would serve well with a variety of foods, with the whole spectrum of sauces.
score: 91
price: $13 - $17
