✨ Technical Specifications
Marchesi Antinori, a family synonymous with Tuscan winemaking excellence since 1385, crafts this vibrant Vermentino primarily from their coastal estates, notably Guado al Tasso in the Bolgheri region of Tuscany. The proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea plays a crucial role, as warm Mediterranean sunshine is tempered by cooling maritime breezes, allowing the Vermentino grapes to ripen fully while maintaining essential acidity. Historically, Vermentino has thrived along the Mediterranean coast, and Antinori's expression captures this coastal terroir beautifully. Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks without malolactic fermentation, the wine preserves its natural crispness, offering a bouquet of citrus fruits, white flowers, and a distinct saline minerality that reflects its seaside origin.
🍾 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.
