Antinori’s 2023 Antica A26 Vineyard Chardonnay is a refined California white that brings the family’s Old World winemaking perspective to Napa Valley fruit. It offers a polished, site-driven expression of Chardonnay with the pedigree and consistency that have made Antinori one of the world’s most respected wine families.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass, this Chardonnay typically shows a bright, inviting profile with layers of citrus, orchard fruit, and subtle floral tones. The nose is often lifted with notes of lemon zest, ripe pear, green apple, and a gentle hint of vanilla or toasted almond from oak aging. On the palate, it balances freshness and texture, combining crisp acidity with a creamy, rounded mid-palate. Expect a clean, elegant finish with enough structure to suggest short- to medium-term aging potential, during which the wine may gain additional complexity and softness.

Production
Sourced from the A26 Vineyard in California, this wine reflects the region’s warm days and cooling influences, which help preserve freshness in the grapes. Harvesting is typically carried out when the fruit reaches optimal ripeness, with vinification focused on retaining aromatic purity and expressing Chardonnay’s natural balance, often with controlled fermentation and measured oak influence.

Food & Serving
Serve this Chardonnay lightly chilled at around 10–12°C. It pairs beautifully with roast chicken, grilled salmon, lobster, creamy pasta dishes, and soft cheeses; decanting is generally not necessary.

Known for combining tradition with innovation, the family has earned international acclaim for producing wines of finesse and character, and its California projects continue that legacy with a distinctly terroir-focused approach.
