Antinori — Winery in Bargino

In 2022, Antinori nel Chianti Classico was named the best winery in the world by World's Best Vineyards. But the reason to come here is as much the architecture as the wine. The winery, opened in 2012, is almost invisible in the Tuscan landscape: the façade consists of two elegant horizontal cuts in the hillside. Barely visible from outside; inside, a spectacular spiral staircase connects three levels.

Tinaia Tour: an introduction to the family history through a short documentary, followed by a tour past the spiral staircase, the roof garden with vineyard, the museum and the production areas. It ends with a tasting of three wines in the glass museum space overlooking the family's art collection.

Bottaia Tour: a more in-depth tour for wine lovers, with access to the most special and unusual spaces in the winery. A multidisciplinary experience in oenology, architecture and wine tasting across more than six centuries of Antinori history, including a tasting of four wines in the striking floating tasting room or the exclusive bottaia.

Private Experiences: for those who want to taste Tignanello or Solaia in the exclusive glass tasting room above the barrique cellars, or take a combined tour of Badia a Passignano and Antinori.

Rinuccio 1180 is the restaurant right on the vineyard, with impressive cooking, Antinori wines and staff who give expert advice on wine choices. Book well in advance for a window or terrace table. Open for lunch and dinner.
