Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Villa Antinori Toscana 750ml opens with a smooth, elegant character that makes it perfect for both intimate dinners and festive gatherings. With an ABV of 13.5%, this Italian red blend is crafted in Tuscany using traditional winemaking techniques that highlight the region’s rich heritage. The wine is a harmonious mix of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah grapes, each contributing to its balanced structure and inviting complexity.
On the palate, Villa Antinori Toscana reveals layers of ripe cherry, plum, and subtle hints of spice complemented by soft tannins and a lingering finish. Notes of tobacco and vanilla add depth without overpowering the fruit-forward profile. This wine pairs beautifully with lamb dishes or aged cheeses like Pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano, enhancing their savory flavors while providing a refined counterpoint to their richness.

Blended Red Wine is a harmonious combination of various grape varieties, crafted to create a complex and balanced flavor profile. Typically featuring grapes such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel, and Grenache, these wines showcase an array of taste sensations that include dark fruits like blackberry and plum alongside red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. The addition of spices like pepper and clove, along with herbal notes of mint and eucalyptus, further enriches the experience.
This wine style is characterized by its medium to full-bodied texture with smooth tannins and balanced acidity. Aromas of blackcurrant, vanilla, oak, chocolate, and leather contribute to its inviting bouquet. Blended Red Wines are often aged in oak barrels for added complexity and undergo malolactic fermentation for a softer mouthfeel. Ideal for casual gatherings or dinner parties, they pair beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes like Bolognese, barbecue fare, and aged cheeses.
