A day out tailored for all those interested in a wine experience that trespasses the frontiers of winemaking and goes beyond, through centuries of culture and agriculture and to the roots and the heart of one of Italy’s flagships of excellence: the Marquis Pietro Antinori Chianti winery.
Your day out begins with a pleasant drive among Chianti’s gently rolling hills and luxuriant vineyards, as no experience involving wine can be complete without knowing its territory and its people. Therefore, you will stop in Greve, a delightful hamlet so perfectly nestled in the scenery, to deserve the title of Gate of Chianti. From here, after some time for leisure, you will head for Antinori Winery.
Calling this establishment a winery may be reductive: it is more of a living being, made of 26 generations of dedication to the best vines, balancing the family’s Tuscan solid identity with the possibilities disclosed by state-of-the-art technology and unceasing study and experimentation. This is housed on-premises, an example of contemporary architecture perfectly integrated into the surrounding natural scenery.
Here, after a decadent meal combining gastronomy specialties, impeccable welcoming, and pleasant landscapes, and an emotional journey through innovative architecture and Tuscan flavors will reveal the majesty of the cellar and the intensity of Antinori’s most representative wines. In all of them, together with body, texture, and finish, you will perceive and savor respect for nature, pride for ancestors’ hard work, and commitment to preserving and transmitting ancient values to the new generations.
