✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Tracing its winemaking heritage back to 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Guild of Florentine Winemakers, Marchesi Antinori stands as one of the world's most enduring and influential wine dynasties. For more than twenty-six generations, the family has balanced deep reverence for Tuscan tradition with bold, pioneering innovation, most notably catalyzing the Super Tuscan revolution in the late 20th century. Based at their architecturally stunning headquarters in San Casciano in Val di Pesa, the estate oversees prestigious properties across Tuscany, Umbria, and beyond, with viticulture dedicated to capturing the distinct soul of each terroir. Today, led by Marchese Piero Antinori alongside his daughters Albiera, Allegra, and Alessia, the house produces iconic masterpieces including the legendary Sangiovese-Cabernet blend Tignanello, the opulent Solaia, and the benchmark Italian white Cervaro della Sala.
