Grapes for Villa Antinori Bianco come from selected vineyards in central Tuscany, including the Monteloro estate, which is particularly well suited to aromatic varieties.
The grapes were destemmed & very lightly pressed. The must was cooled to 10 degrees Celsius to encourage natural clarification, & then transferred into stainless steel vats where alcoholic fermentation took place at controlled temperatures up to 18 degrees Celsius.
The wine remained in stainless steel vats at 10 degrees Celsius to maintain the fragrance until bottling.

Vineyard Villa Antinori began life as a Chianti Classico Riserva, & is still grown on Antinori's Chianti estates, including Tenuta Tignanello, while enjoying increased blending flexibility from the more relaxed IGT rules. After destemming & gentle crushing, maceration lasted eight to twelve days in stainless steel vats. During this phase the wine completed fermentation at differing temperatures for the various varieties. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was placed in a mixture of French, American & Hungarian oak barrels for twelve months. The wine was then aged in bottle for at least eight months prior to release. Taste Intense ruby red colour with aromas of ripe fruits, plum, mint, chocolate, & tobacco. Complex, stylish palate with a soft mouthfeel. ...
The 2008 Carmenere Alto del Maipo Valley (100%) was fermented & aged in cement tank. Deep violet in colour with legs that coat the glass, it offers up a superb aromatic array of herbs, exotic spices, truffle, a hint of balsamic, blueberry, & blackberry. Plush, sweetly-fruited, complex, & pleasure-bent, this intense, powerful offering will benefit from 4-5 years of additional bottle age to fill out. It offers a drinking window extending from 2016 to 2023 & possibly longer. Carmenere does not get much better than this. - 93 pts Robert Parker Wine Advocate 199 Feb 2012 ...
Aromas of peach, flowers, nuts, charcuterie. It tastes more of lemon & stone fruits. The palate is intense but fine at the same time. The integration of any wood is seamless. & it finishes long too. Overall a delicious wine & amazing at this level. ...
This is a rich, modern Chianti that marries beautifully ripe cherry fruit with well-judged smoky oak notes.
The opulence on the palate is tempered by savoury notes of clove and a firm structure supporting the plump fruit.
