Wine of the Week: Villa Antinori Toscana 2004 (Italy) $20
Friday February 22, 2008
The 2004 Villa Antinori Toscana starts with a deep garnet color and a bouquet dominated by red fruit. The flavor profile is full of well ripened cherry and raspberry along with a bit of pepper on the palate. It is a medium bodied blend of Sangiovese (60%), Cabernet Sauvignon (20%), Merlot (15%) and Syrah (5%) and has both good acidity and overall balance. Technically speaking this wine could be well classified as a "Super Tuscan," albeit with a reasonable price tag. Give it a go with shrimp cocktail, braised beef or spaghetti and meatballs.
