The Antinori family has been making wine for over six hundred years when, in 1385, Giovanni di Piero Antinori became part of 'Art of Vinattieri Fiorentina.
Throughout its long history, spanning 26 generations, the family has always managed the business with innovative, sometimes courageous choices, always with unwavering respect for tradition and for the territory.
Today the company is directed by Marchese Piero Antinori, with the support of Albiera three daughters, Allegra and Alessia, personally involved in business
At the estates of Tuscany and Umbria, historical heritage of the family, joined with time investment in other areas suitable for the production of quality wines in Italy and abroad, where you could take a new path of development of new terroir \"high potential for wine.
Antinori continually experiments in their vineyards and cellars with selected clones of indigenous and international grapes, types of crops, vineyard altitudes, fermentation methods and temperatures, traditional and modern winemaking techniques, types of timber size and age of the barrels, and varying the length of aging in bottle.
A \"vintage wine\" is one made from grapes that were all or mostly grown in a particular year, and labeled as such. Most countries allow a vintage wine to include a portion that is not from the labeled vintage. Variations in a wine's character from year to year can include subtle differences in color, palate, nose, body and development. High-quality wines can improve in flavor with age if properly stored.Consequently, it is not uncommon for wine enthusiasts and traders to save bottles of an especially good vintage wine for future consumption.
