Description
What kind of wine it is
Villa Antinori Pinot Bianco by Antinori is a still white wine with a refined and elegant character. To the eye, it displays a bright straw yellow colour with greenish highlights, which anticipates a clean and fragrant aromatic profile. The bouquet opens with delicate notes of citrus and acacia flowers, enriched by soft hints of banana. On the palate, this Toscana IGT stands out for its remarkable freshness and a persistent mineral structure, which accompanies the tasting, leaving a sensation of balance and pleasantness.
Where it comes from
The grapes used for this label come from the vineyards of Tenuta Monteloro, located on the picturesque hills of Fiesole, behind the city of Florence. This unique geographical location defines the wine's territorial identity, placing it in an area highly suited to the cultivation of white grape varieties. In this enchanting setting, Antinori's expertise is expressed in the enhancement of a choice terroir, capable of imparting an authentic profile to the glass.
How it is produced
The vinification process begins with destemming and a gentle pressing of the bunches. The must is then cooled to encourage a completely natural clarification, which lasts for about forty-eight hours. The next stage involves transferring the must to stainless steel tanks, where alcoholic fermentation takes place under strict temperature control, always kept at low levels. To preserve the aromatic freshness and liveliness of the fruit, the wine continues its maturation in steel at a constant temperature, thus ensuring a clear and well-defined sensory profile.

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.
