This wine is produced with the best grapes from the Abbey A Passignano reserve, situated in the Chianti Classic region. The Passignano Abbey, around which the vineyards are found, is one of the most beautiful Abbeys of the area, and was renowned for its viniculture production until the 11th century. The Antinori family, bought the land around the Abbey, which belonged to the Vallombrosani Monks, in 1987, and since then also uses the splendid cantinas that belong to the monastery. The unique wine of the Abbey, the Chianti Classic Reserve Passignano , is also reflected on its label, made according to the procedure used for making bank notes in Switzerland. It has a drawing of the Abbey and a vine leaf. The design was the idea of Marchese Piero Antinori “The label reflects the genuine authenticity, because it is impossible to reproduce or falsify it”. The labels are in fact produced in Switzerland by the descendants of Christoffel Froschuer, the famous printer from Zurich of the 1500, whose company has printed Swiss bank notes since 1603.
It is intense ruby red in color, Classic Chianti Reserve is traditional in its complexity and in its roundness. Its fruity aroma, from the clear fragrance of cherry, chocolate and vanilla, is reflected in the flavor, expressing all its elegance.
