✨ Technical Specifications
First released in 1931 by Marchese Niccol"o Antinori, Villa Antinori Bianco is a historic cornerstone of Tuscan white winemaking, created to represent the family's pioneering spirit and the classic character of the region. This elegant white wine is crafted from a blend of traditional Tuscan grapes, primarily Trebbiano and Malvasia, alongside international varieties like Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco. The grapes are sourced from select estate vineyards across Tuscany, where they benefit from sunny days and cool nights. To preserve its vibrant fruit character and crisp acidity, the wine undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, avoiding oak contact entirely. The result is an aromatic, fresh, and harmonious white that carries nearly a century of Antinori family heritage in every glass.
