Villa Antinori: Tuscan Wine from the Antinori Family Since 1928

The story of Villa Antinori began at Villa del Cigliano, an estate tucked into the hills of San Casciano Val di Pesa, just south of Florence.

An estate since 1546

The property has been part of the Antinori family since 1546, when Alessandro di Niccolò Antinori acquired the villa. Over nearly five centuries, Villa del Cigliano has been more than a home. It has become a symbol of continuity and helped establish the family as one of Italy's most celebrated wine dynasties.

The first Villa Antinori wine

The estate is deeply tied to the family's earliest experiences in viticulture and winemaking. Just a few generations back, Niccolò Antinori introduced the first Villa Antinori wine in 1928. Soon after, it was found in the most prestigious cellars, in embassies, royal houses, important hotels and restaurants.

Niccolò named the wine after the family's historic villa, to represent his concept of home and the Tuscan territory. It was more than a tribute: the Antinori name was still relatively unknown outside certain circles, and the wine was a way to promote it. For the past century, each bottle has done just that, promoting the family name while reflecting a desire to balance deep roots in the region with a forward-thinking vision. Sourced entirely from estate-grown vineyards, these wines remain a reflection of the family's commitment to quality and showcase the charming character and timeless beauty of Tuscany.

The signature wine

The signature wine of the portfolio is the Rosso, Toscana IGT, a Super Tuscan red blend. The grapes for the 2023 vintage, a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet and Merlot, were grown, harvested, fermented and aged at the family's Tuscan estates.

• In the glass: ruby red, with an intense aroma of dark fruit, tobacco and juniper, plus hints of spice, coffee and hazelnut.
• On the palate: mouth-filling, with lively freshness and supple tannins that keep each sip balanced.
• At the table: its mix of fruit and subtle spice suits pasta with robust sauces, roasted or grilled meats, aged cheeses and other hearty Tuscan fare.

The portfolio also includes a fresh and elegant Toscano IGT Bianco and a contemporary expression of DOCG Chianti Classico Riserva.
