Initially, spring 2019 started out dry with no precipitation however during the second half of the season, the weather was cool with some rain showers that caused a delay in bloom by about two weeks compared to previous years. Summer brought hot temperatures with well-distributed rainfall throughout the season and optimal temperature fluctuations between day and night during the final weeks of the ripening phase. At harvest time, the grapes had an excellent balance between acidity, sugar concentration levels and aromatic expression. Harvesting operations began the first week of September with Pinot Grigio, followed by Pinot Bianco, Trebbiano and Malvasia Toscana and wound up at the beginning of October with Riesling Renano. Villa Antinori Bianco is straw yellow in color with greenish hues. On the nose it is refined, elegant, fruity and floral with notes of banana, pineapple, white blossoms and candied fruit. The palate is balanced with good persistence and a mineral finish.
