▼ MORE INFO
From your hotel in Florence, with your private driver reach the Antinori winery in Chianti Classico for your Bottaia Tour Experience.
Once there you will assist to a short movie about the Antinori family by film director Cinzia Th. Torrini: "The Antinori: Vintners since 1385” narrates the history of the Marchesi Antinori family and the role it held in Florentine society in past centuries with the aid of some of the most representative works of art from the family’s private collection.
The Bottaia Tour moves from outside to inside the winery focusing on production processes, the winery’s innovative architecture and the contemporary works of art that are on display throughout the itinerary. You will see the barrique and barrel cellars with private access to production areas.
At the end of the visit, you will taste four estate wines: A Toscana Rosato IGT, Villa Antinori Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva, Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva and Badia a Passignano Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione.
Wines may vary according to the season and availability.
Wine tasting will take place either in the impressive suspended room or in the more intimate Bottaia room.
Depending on the season, it may be possible to taste "Olio novo", the organic extra virgin olive oil from Pèppoli estate.
