In the prestigious lands of Chianti Classico, the Badia a Passignano estate, a historic property of the Antinori family, produces an exceptional cuvée: the Gran Selezione. Sourced from the vineyards surrounding the thousand-year-old Passignano Abbey, this Chianti Classico Riserva is distinguished by its aromatic intensity of black cherry, thyme, blond tobacco, and cocoa. The palate is full-bodied and deep, supported by a noble structure, silky tannins, and a long, flavorful finish. Aged for a long time in barrels, this wine precisely expresses the elegance of Sangiovese at its finest. It pairs perfectly with braised meats, game, or richly flavored Tuscan dishes, for an authentic and refined experience.

For over six centuries, the Antinori family has embodied Italian winemaking excellence, blending tradition, innovation, and a passion for the Tuscan terroir. Since 1385, when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine winegrowers’ guild, 26 generations have succeeded one another at the helm of this iconic house, guided by a single ideal: to express the richness and elegance of great Italian wines.

Today, the Antinori estate extends across Tuscany, Umbria, and other Italian regions, with prestigious vineyards such as Tignanello, Solaia, and Pian delle Vigne. Each property has been carefully selected for the uniqueness of its terroir and its ability to produce exceptional wines.

Since its inception, the Antinori estate has been distinguished by its pioneering spirit. She has challenged traditions without ever betraying them, introducing new winemaking techniques while preserving the identity of the native grape varieties. This subtle balance between heritage and modernity is the hallmark of Antinori: elegant, profound, and timeless wines.

True to a philosophy of respect for nature and time, the Antinori family continues its commitment to sustainable viticulture, striving to preserve the beauty and authenticity of Italy’s wine-growing landscapes.

Today, Antinori remains a symbol of refinement and avant-garde, proudly carrying the flag for Italian expertise throughout the world.
