Antinori is one of the most historic and influential wine families in Italy, with a legacy that stretches back over 600 years. Founded in 1385, when Giovanni di Piero Antinori became a member of the Florentine Winemakers’ Guild, the family has been at the forefront of Italian winemaking for 26 generations. Headquartered in Tuscany, the Marchesi Antinori estate has played a central role in shaping not only the reputation of Tuscan wines but also the global perception of Italian wine as a whole.

The family oversees extensive vineyard holdings across Tuscany, including Chianti Classico, Montalcino, and Bolgheri, as well as estates in Umbria and beyond. Antinori is especially celebrated for its innovation in the 20th century, when it pioneered the creation of “Super Tuscan” wines such as Tignanello and Solaia. These wines broke traditional rules by blending native Sangiovese with international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, elevating Tuscany’s status on the world stage.

Production at Antinori combines respect for tradition with a willingness to experiment. Modern viticultural techniques, meticulous vineyard management, and carefully controlled fermentations are balanced with time-honored practices such as aging in large oak casks and French barriques. Today, Antinori represents the very best of Italian winemaking—heritage, innovation, and excellence passed down through centuries, with a commitment to both quality and authenticity that remains unwavering.
