Description
Data of interest
The Antinori family has been dedicated to winemaking for over 600 years, specifically since 1385 with Giovanni di Piero Antinori. He became a member of the Arte Fiorentina dei Vinattieri (the guild of wine merchants in Florence).
26 generations later, the winery is led by Albiera Antinori, with the support of her two sisters Allegra and Alessia.
The wine group Marchesi Antinori has winemaking projects in the Italian regions of Tuscany, Puglia, Umbria, Piedmont, and Lombardy. Additionally, it owns wineries in other countries such as Chile, the USA, Malta, Hungary, and Romania.
Among its most distinctive wineries is the one located on the Tignanello Estate, in the very heart of the Chianti Classico Denomination of Origin, halfway between Florence and Siena.
This winery boasts over 127 hectares of vineyards, where the family group's philosophy is showcased like nowhere else: blending tradition and modernity. The wines Solaia and Tignanello are prime examples of this. Authentic gems considered two of the most influential wines in the history of Italian winemaking. A symbol that represents the family's craftsmanship through the ages.
The building of the new winery was inaugurated in 2012. With this impressive architectural work, the Antinori family sought to pay homage to the Chianti Classico area, their homeland and the origin of this great Italian lineage. Its design stands out in the Tuscan landscape.
Another noteworthy winery is Guado al Tasso, located on the Tuscan coast near the Italian town of Bolgheri. The winery has over 300 hectares of its own vineyards, situated in a very special area of rolling and rugged landscapes that lead to the sea. This creates a microclimate that allows for the production of very unique and Mediterranean wines that reflect the character of this exceptional land.
Their wines express power, strength, elegance, and balance. A clear example is their Vermentino Bolgheri wine. Guado al Tasso is considered one of the most important wineries on
