Named in honor of the iconic cypress trees that elegantly line the rolling hills of the Tuscan landscape, Cipresseto is a vibrant testament to the Antinori family's centuries-old winemaking legacy. Crafted primarily from Sangiovese alongside complementary red varieties, this Rosato Toscana IGT captures the breezy, sun-drenched essence of Tuscany. The grapes undergo a gentle, brief maceration on the skins to achieve its signature soft pink hue, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its bright, aromatic profile. Free from oak influence, it offers a pure expression of fresh red berries, wild strawberries, and delicate floral notes, embodying the joyful, relaxed spirit of Italian summer dining.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Tracing its winemaking heritage back to 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine Winemakers' Guild, Marchesi Antinori has been shaped by twenty-six generations of family leadership. Headquartered in the heart of Chianti Classico, the family has expanded its portfolio across prestigious estates in Tuscany, Umbria, and beyond, driven by a philosophy that balances deep historical respect with bold innovation. Antinori famously pioneered the "Super Tuscan" movement in the 1970s, introducing revolutionary French oak aging and international varieties to create iconic labels like Tignanello and Solaia. Today, their diverse portfolio spans from the elegant Sangiovese of Badia a Passignano to the acclaimed white blend Cervaro della Sala, cementing their legacy as global ambassadors of Italian fine wine.
