It stands out for its enveloping and savoury structure, enriched by soft, velvety tannins and notes of ripe cherry, wild berries and tobacco. Thanks to ageing in large barrels and barriques, the finish is long and persistent, with pleasant toasted notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the vineyards of San Casciano Val di Pesa, located in the Chianti Classico area. The soils, situated at an altitude below 700 metres, have a \u003cstrong\u003emixed composition\u003c\/strong\u003e of clay, limestone, sand and sandstone substrates, a combination that ensures excellent water drainage. The area's climate is particularly favourable, characterised by optimal sun exposure and hot summer months that promote full ripening of the grapes. The \u003cstrong\u003esignificant temperature variations\u003c\/strong\u003e between day and night play a crucial role, allowing the vine to develop the \u003cstrong\u003ecomplex aromatic profile\u003c\/strong\u003e that defines the wine's identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest takes place between September and October, respecting the ripening times of each variety. After destemming and gentle pressing, the \u003cstrong\u003ealcoholic fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, with maceration on the skins for about fifteen days. The batches continue their journey independently until malolactic fermentation, carried out in steel for the Sangiovese and in barriques for the Cabernet. Once the blend is assembled, the wine undergoes a period of \u003cstrong\u003eageing in large barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and, to a small extent, in barriques, thus defining its structural harmony. The cycle concludes with bottling starting from the second year after the harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1928, the historic Villa Antinori label embodies the vision of the renowned family, dedicated to oenological excellence since 1385.
