✨ Technical Specifications
First released in 1928 by Marchese Niccolò Antinori, Villa Antinori Rosso was created to represent the historic family's signature style and the soul of Tuscan winemaking in a bottle that could travel and age gracefully. This landmark wine is crafted primarily from Sangiovese, the noble grape of Tuscany, complemented by international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, which are sourced from the family's estate vineyards across the region. The grapes undergo careful fermentation followed by approximately twelve months of aging in French, Hungarian, and American oak barrels. This process yields a deeply expressive red wine characterized by ripe red berries, subtle spices, and a velvety texture, embodying the rich heritage and innovative spirit of the Antinori dynasty.
🍾 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.
