Discover the Winery: Marchesi Antinori
Antinori is one of the most important and appreciated families in the world for the production of fine and high-quality wines. To trace the origins of this bond, we need to go back to 1385, when Giovanni di Piero Antinori became part of the Arte Fiorentina dei Vinattieri. In the 16th century, Alessandro Antinori decided to travel between France and Spain to make his bottles known beyond the borders. Success was assured and Antinori wine became popular abroad. 26 generations have now passed, but in all these seven centuries the name of this great family has been able to shine ever brighter and conquer the palates of many lovers of Bacchus' drink. Today, at the helm of the Antinori estate is Marchese Piero, supported by his daughters Albiera, Allegra and Alessia. A never-ending success story!
Marchesi Antinori is synonymous with the history and tradition of Italian wine, a true pioneer in the valorization of the Sangiovese grape variety, which has now become an integral part of Italian wine culture, in whose development it has actively collaborated, year after year. The first estates in Tuscany and Umbria have been followed by others, confirming the passion and foresight of this family who deserves credit for having brought the Tuscan nature of its wines to the international wine scene. The great strength of the Antinori winery is that it has never rested despite the name it has earned, but on the contrary, has continued to experiment even today. It is a temple of wine culture and not only that, since inside it there is also a museum that houses the family's art collection. Furthermore, the winery in the Chianti area, renovated in 2012 after 6 years of work, is among the most spectacular estates in Italy, a mix of design, luxury and elegance that seems to blend with the surrounding land. In fact, it is also part of Toscana Wine Architecture, a project that unites the great wineries with the art of contemporary masters. In short, Antinori winery reconciles tradition and innovation, modernity and the past for continued future success.
Antinori wines are among the most renowned and sought-after bottles in the world, always a symbol of luxury and nobility. Solaia is certainly one of the most appreciated Italian wines in the world, a symbol of the family's constant search for quality. Tignanello is also certainly a top-notch name, without forgetting Brunello di Montalcino or Chianti, all of the highest level. Tradition and value are intertwined in the name that has become a legend over the course of many centuries and that today confirms, day after day, the reasons behind such an important history.
