Villa Antinori Bianco

The fall and winter seasons brought generous rainfall that provided excellent groundwater resources in vineyard soils. Mild weather with occasional precipitation at the beginning of spring encouraged normal budbreak and early flowering and fruit set. Temperatures in summer were within normal ranges up until mid-July and then above average for the remaining part of summer until the harvest. These climatic conditions slowed down the ripening cycle and resulted in a harvest whose timing was consistent with seasonal averages. The grape harvest began the last week of August with Pinot Grigio and Pinot Bianco. Trebbiano Toscano was harvested mid-September while Riesling Renano was picked the first week of October.

Freshly harvested grapes were destemmed and delicately pressed. The must was chilled to a tempera-ture of 10 °C (50 °F) to favor natural clarification. After 48 hours, the must was transferred to stain-less steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place at a temperature that did not exceed 17 °C (63 °F). The wine was aged in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 10 °C (50 °F) up until bottling which took place starting in November 2024.

Villa Antinori Bianco is one of the historic wines of the Antinori family. It was produced for the first time by Niccolò Antinori in the 1931 vintage and since then the label has remained virtually unchanged, as has the production philosophy, oriented towards a full representation of the wine’s source, the place where its grapes are cultivated.

Villa Antinori Bianco is straw yellow with light green hues. The nose is intense and refined with fruity aromas of pineapples and citrus fruit that follow over to hints of orange blossoms. The palate is fresh, mouth-filling, savory and closes with a mineral finish.

Villa Antinori

Villa Antinori was first of all an idea, a plan that envisioned the winemaking process: research and development on one side and historical heritage on the other. Villa Antinori is an important corner stone as its name is associated with over 100 years of history. At the same time it represents ongoing progress. The one essential principle is continuous research for increasingly higher quality standards. This idea produced two different wines that share a common passion for quality: Villa Antinori Rosso and Villa Antinori Bianco. Villa Antinori was originally produced in 1928 by Marchese Niccolò Antinori as a Chianti Classico that could age and that would improve over time. Soon after, Villa Antinori was found in the most prestigious cellars in embassies, royal houses, important hotels and restaurants. In 1931, Villa Antinori Bianco was made from traditional Trebbiano grapes. In the 1980’s a small percentage of Chardonnay was added in order to give the wine better structure.
