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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Tracing its winemaking heritage back to 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine Winemakers' Guild, Marchesi Antinori has been shaped by twenty-six generations of family leadership. Headquartered in the heart of Chianti Classico, the family has expanded its portfolio across prestigious estates in Tuscany, Umbria, and beyond, driven by a philosophy that balances deep historical respect with bold innovation. Antinori famously pioneered the "Super Tuscan" movement in the 1970s, introducing revolutionary French oak aging and international varieties to create iconic labels like Tignanello and Solaia. Today, their diverse portfolio spans from the elegant Sangiovese of Badia a Passignano to the acclaimed white blend Cervaro della Sala, cementing their legacy as global ambassadors of Italian fine wine.
