White "Villa Antinori" Igt Antinori

It was 1928 when Niccolò Antinori decided to call this wine with the name of the family villa so that it would represent his personal interpretation of the Chianti and Tuscan identity. This is what Niccolò, father of Piero Antinori, wrote when describing the birth of the “Villa”: “At that time it was necessary to affirm the name Antinori…which was still, except in some circles, little known and so I proposed the name Villa Antinori”. Villa del Cigliano, located among the rolling hills of San Casciano in Val di Pesa, in the province of Florence, is a place that has always been linked to the family; it is here that generations of Antinoris were born and lived starting from 1546, the year in which Alessandro di Niccolò Antinori became the owner of the building. Villa del Cigliano is the symbol of history, identity and family continuity; it is here, in a certain sense, where everything began, where the Antinori family began to take its first steps in the winemaking sector. Villa del Cigliano expresses the same values ​​and feelings born in 1928 with Niccolò Antinori with the “Villa”. For this reason it is represented on the label of Villa Antinori, the symbolic wine of Casa Antinori. During these years, in almost a century of history, Villa Antinori has represented and represents, through a contemporary style, the concept of home, of territory, of Tuscany. A wine born from a way of conceiving wine production: as experimentation and evolution on the one hand, as historical value on the other.
