Producer

The Antinori family have been producing wine in Tuscany for six centuries, and exporting it for four. The purchase of the Tignanello estate in 1900 marked the beginning of a remarkable period of expansion which shows no signs of abating. Through judicious acquisition of vineyards and an uncanny knack for developing iconic wines, Antinori has become Tuscany’s  -arguably Italy’s – pre-eminent wine producer, with an important presence in Piedmont, Lombardy, Umbria and Puglia as well as their Tuscan heartland.

Vineyard

Grapes for Villa Antinori Bianco come from selected vineyards in central Tuscany, including the Monteloro estate, which is particularly well suited to aromatic varieties.

Winery

The grapes were destemmed and very lightly pressed. The must was cooled to 10°C to encourage natural clarification, and then transferred into stainless steel vats where alcoholic fermentation took place at controlled temperatures up to 18°C. The wine remained in stainless steel vats at 10°C to maintain the fragrance until bottling.
