Dating back past 1385 when the house of Antinori joined the Italian Wine Makers Guild, the Antinori family has helped define the history, as well as the wines of Tuscany, Tuscany is a beautiful countryside famous for its beautiful wines, and the 2009 Villa Antinori Toscana IGT is a classic example of Italian winemaking art.
Like most Super
Tuscans, it is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sangiovese, and a
favorite style of wine for me, as well as many others. The color is a deep and
intense red, with a bouquet as large as the sky itself, filled with the scent of
cherries and dark berries. The flavor explodes from the glass with a burst of
cherry and currant highlighted by chocolate and spice. The finished sails on,
like a clipper ship on an around the world voyage. Needless to say, I found
this wine to be most enjoyable and I will join other critics with a rating of
high praise. Norm's score is 91.
The wine is
perfect with most meat and game dishes and would be a wonderful choice for a
true Italian dish like veal Marsala, with a side of spaghetti marinara.
