Villa Antinori was introduced in 1928 by Marchese Niccolò Antinori, father of Marchese Piero Antinori, as the first Chianti Classico that could age and that would improve over time. In 2001, Piero Antinori inaugurated a newer interpretation of Villa Antinori that is labeled with the appellation Toscana IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) produced with the finest selection of grapes coming exclusively from farms owned in Tuscany. The label design has remained unchanged.
