Villa Antinori Bianco
The wine
A traditional white wine produced in 1931 by Marchese Niccolò Antinori. Villa Antinori Bianco IGT Toscana is a fine expression of the Tuscan territory by blending traditional white grapes with other varieties.
Vinification
Villa Antinori Bianco is one of the historic wines of the Antinori family. It was produced for the first time by Niccolò Antinori in the 1931 vintage and since then the label has remained virtually unchanged, as has the production philosophy, oriented towards a full representation of the wine’s source, the place where its grapes are cultivated.
Winemaking
Freshly harvested grapes were destemmed and delicately pressed. The must was chilled to a temperature of 10 °C (50 °F) to favor natural clarification. After 48 hours, the must was transferred to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place at a temperature that did not exceed 18 °C (64 °F). The wine was aged in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature up until bottling.
Historical Data
Villa del Cigliano, located in the gently rolling hillsides of San Casciano Val di Pesa, in the province of Florence, has always been a symbol of strong family relationships; the villa has watched over the lives of generations of Antinori family members since 1546, the year Alessandro di Niccolò Antinori became the owner of the property.
Villa del Cigliano holds the same meaningful values and sentiments that Niccolò Antinori expressed in 1928 when he first crafted “Villa”. Villa del Cigliano is a symbol of history, identity and family continuity and is still pictured on the label today.
Tasting Notes
The nose is intense and refined with dominant fruity notes of pineapples, Golden apples, and bananas that follow over to hints of orange blossoms. The palate is fresh, mouth-filling, pleasantly taut and closes with a mineral finish.
