The trio Cervaro della Sala, Tignanello, and Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Badia a Passignano represents three distinct yet complementary expressions of the Antinori universe: Umbrian elegance, Tuscan power, and Chianti Classico depth. Cervaro della Sala is born in the estate of the same name, nestled among the Umbrian hills, where Chardonnay and Grechetto thrive in a cool climate and fossil-rich soils, resulting in a white wine of remarkable complexity and longevity. Tignanello, one of the most iconic Italian wines, stands as a symbol of Tuscan innovation: a structured Sangiovese complemented by international varieties, the visionary creation that reshaped Italian winemaking. Badia a Passignano, meanwhile, comes from vineyards surrounding the ancient Vallombrosan abbey, where tradition, altitude, and galestro soils contribute to a pure, deep, and vibrant Sangiovese. Together, these wines reflect Antinori’s pursuit of quality, blending research, terroir, and elegance into labels marked by a strong and unmistakable identity.
