✨ Technical Specifications
The Antinori family's venture into sparkling wine dates back to the early 20th century, driven by a desire to craft Italian Metodo Classico that could rival the finest French Champagnes. In the high-altitude vineyards of Trentino-Alto Adige, this pursuit of excellence finds its perfect canvas. The region's dramatic alpine terroir, characterized by warm, sunny days and cool mountain nights, allows Chardonnay and Pinot Nero grapes to ripen slowly while retaining their vibrant acidity. This Spumante Brut is crafted using the traditional method, where secondary fermentation in the bottle and extended contact with the lees impart a sophisticated complexity. It weaves together the historic pioneering spirit of the Tuscan noble family with the pristine, mineral-rich soils of the Dolomites, resulting in a sparkling wine of exceptional purity, elegance, and fine, persistent perlage.
🍾 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.
