About Marchesi Antinori
Marchesi Antinori stands as one of Italy’s most storied wine dynasties, tracing its roots to 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined Florence’s Vintner’s Guild (Wikipedia). Based in Tuscany, with estates spanning Chianti Classico, Bolgheri, Montalcino, Umbria, Piedmont, and Napa, the family is credited with pioneering the Super‑Tuscan revolution.
Their gravel and limestone-rich vineyards, affording ideal drainage and structure, support a diverse portfolio ranging from traditional Sangiovese-based reds to Bordeaux-style blends and elegant whites. Under the leadership of the current Patriarch, Marchese Piero Antinori—who, since 1966, ushered in modern techniques and global expansion—the House produces around a dozen flagship wines celebrated for their finesse, innovation, and unmistakable quality
