✨ Technical Specifications
The historic house of Marchesi Antinori, with over six centuries of winemaking heritage in Tuscany, has long championed the potential of Tuscan white wines alongside their legendary reds. This dedication is epitomized by their classic Tuscan white style, pioneered in 1931 with the introduction of Villa Antinori Bianco. Sourced from estate vineyards across Tuscany, these wines traditionally blend native Italian varieties such as Trebbiano and Malvasia with international grapes like Pinot Grigio, Pinot Bianco, and Chardonnay. The grapes are grown in soils rich in clay and limestone, benefiting from warm Tuscan days and cooling night breezes. Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve pristine fruit character, the resulting wine is a vibrant, aromatic expression of the region, offering notes of green apple, white peach, and delicate orange blossom underpinned by a crisp, mineral finish.
🍾 About the Producer
Tracing its winemaking heritage back to 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Guild of Florentine Winemakers, Marchesi Antinori stands as one of the world's most enduring and influential wine dynasties. For more than twenty-six generations, the family has balanced deep reverence for Tuscan tradition with bold, pioneering innovation, most notably catalyzing the Super Tuscan revolution in the late 20th century. Based at their architecturally stunning headquarters in San Casciano in Val di Pesa, the estate oversees prestigious properties across Tuscany, Umbria, and beyond, with viticulture dedicated to capturing the distinct soul of each terroir. Today, led by Marchese Piero Antinori alongside his daughters Albiera, Allegra, and Alessia, the house produces iconic masterpieces including the legendary Sangiovese-Cabernet blend Tignanello, the opulent Solaia, and the benchmark Italian white Cervaro della Sala.
