Antinori Badia a Passignano Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2021

Award-Winning Tuscan Elegance
Crafted by the renowned Antinori family in the heart of Tuscany’s Chianti Classico region, this 2021 Gran Selezione is a masterpiece of Sangiovese. With accolades from Wine Spectator (95 pts), Wine Advocate (94 pts), and James Suckling (93 pts), it’s a collector’s gem that balances power and finesse.

Tasting Notes & Aging Potential
Expect a symphony of ripe black cherry, blueberry, and wild herbs, layered with vanilla and toasty oak. The palate is dense yet refined, with silky tannins and a mineral-driven finish. While already expressive, this wine will flourish with 2–3 years of cellaring, revealing deeper notes of leather, cocoa, and spice.

Vineyard Excellence
Sourced from Antinori’s historic Badia a Passignano estate, only the finest 20 hectares of vines contribute to this limited production (100,000 bottles annually). The 2021 vintage benefited from optimal spring rains and sustained summer heat, yielding fruit with exceptional concentration and vibrancy.

Perfect for Discerning Palates
Ideal for pairing with roasted meats, aged cheeses, or Tuscan classics like bistecca alla Fiorentina. Its structure and complexity make it a standout choice for special occasions or as a curated addition to any wine collection.
