Readers will find two very different vintages in these new releases from Antinori. The 2011s are the result of a warm, dry season that led to a September harvest, early for this part of Chianti Classico. The dry conditions concentrated the grapes on the vines and yielded powerful, exotic wines that push the outer edge of ripeness. I imagine the 2011s will be superb once they lose some of their baby fat. In 2010, the Sangiovese ripened later, in mid-October, with less stress and no excess concentration. There has always been something magical about 2010 in Tuscany. Antinori's wines are no exception.
