✨ Technical Specifications
The Antinori family has been shaping the landscape of Tuscan winemaking since 1385, when Giovanni di Piero Antinori became a member of the Winemakers Guild. This Superiore bottling represents the pinnacle of their dedication to combining indigenous Tuscan traditions with innovative cellar practices. Sourced from estate vineyards characterized by galestro and alberese soils, this red wine typically showcases a masterful blend of Sangiovese alongside international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Aged carefully in a combination of French and Hungarian oak barrels, it marries the vibrant, cherry-driven acidity of Tuscany with deep structure, velvety tannins, and complex notes of tobacco, leather, and Mediterranean brush.
🍾 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.
