Description
Villa Antinori is, first and foremost, an idea, a way of conceiving wine production: as experimentation and evolution on the one hand, as the historical value on the other. Sangiovese and other complementary varieties pay homage to a historic label and a wine with a long tradition: this name has, in fact, almost a hundred years of history and was first produced in the 1928 vintage. With the inauguration of the Antinori winery in Chianti Classico, the company wished to reinterpret a Tuscan classic through a delicate and, at the same time, decisive and elegant Riserva.

The Antinori family’s first encounter with wine dates back to 1385, when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Guild of Wine Merchants to make the best use of the family’s country properties in Valdarno, around Florence.
However, it was not until the 16th century that banker and merchant Alessandro Antinori made the wine from his estates famous in Italy and abroad, travelling from Lyons to Flanders, and from Spain to Algiers.
Wine was to remain the family’s passion and main business activity, so much so that in 1898 the "Fattoria dei Marchesi Lodovico e Piero Antinori" was created by brothers Lodovico and Piero, the sons of Marchese Niccolò – a direct descendent of that other Niccolò who purchased Palazzo Antinori in 1506 and poured his efforts into publicising Tuscan wines around the world and creating fine quality products. For 26 generations the Antinori family have continued to make history.
In 2023, at the beginning of February, Villa Antinori Toscana IGT 2019 was named the third wine in the world, the only Italian wine, in Wine Specator's Top 10 Values 2022: the list of the 10 wines that according to the American magazine represent world excellence in terms of value for money.
