It is crafted using selected Sangiovese grapes harvested from the Antinori estates located in the heart of the Chianti Classico area. Following the harvest, the wine undergoes a specific maturation process, aging for approximately 14 months in small oak barrels before spending at least another 12 months resting in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarchesi Antinori stands as one of the world's oldest family-owned businesses, having produced wine continuously since 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori was inducted into the Florentine Winemakers Guild. Now in its 26th generation, the estate is guided by three sisters—Albiera, who serves as president, Allegra, and Alessia. Throughout its six centuries of operation, the family has retained full control of the company. In modern times, Antinori has been a defining force in Italian winemaking, famously breaking traditional rules to create the first Super Tuscans in the 1970s. Today, their extensive portfolio includes nine prestigious estates across Italy, alongside international ventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from Tuscany, an iconic region with winemaking roots tracing back to the Etruscans. More specifically, it hails from Chianti Classico, the historic core situated between Florence and Siena, which holds its own DOCG classification marked by the traditional black rooster symbol. The foundation of this appellation is Sangiovese, Italy's primary grape variety, which is prominently grown in Tuscany, Umbria, Emilia Romagna, and California. The 1998 vintage in this region is described as fruity and round, achieving a score of 89 points.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marchesi Antinori","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57201879089478,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-840_92f77a95-9723-4490-8322-68cd6fb57697.jpg?v=1787745606","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/chianti-classico-riserva-antinori-1998","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
