Antinori
The Antinori family has been dedicated to winemaking for over six hundred years: since 1385, when Giovanni di Piero Antinori became part of the Florentine Guild of Winemakers. Throughout its long history, spanning 26 generations, the family has always directly managed this business with innovative and sometimes bold choices, while always maintaining respect for traditions and the land.
Today the company is led by Albiera Antinori, with the support of her two sisters Allegra and Alessia, who are personally involved in the company’s activities. Marquis Piero Antinori is currently the Honorary President of the company. Tradition, passion, and intuition have been the driving qualities that have led the Antinori Marquises to establish themselves as one of the leading Italian wine producers. Each vintage, every vineyard, every idea that one wishes to implement is a new beginning, a new search for increasingly high-quality margins.
As Marquis Piero likes to say: “ancient roots play an important role in our philosophy, but they have never inhibited our innovative spirit.” Over time, investments in other areas suited for quality wine production, both in Italy and abroad, have been added to the Tuscan and Umbrian estates, which are the family’s historical heritage, allowing for a new path of enhancement of new terroirs with high winemaking potential. The Antinori Marquises express their passion for viticulture by seeking ever finer margins of improvement. For this reason, continuous experiments are conducted in the vineyards and wineries with selections of indigenous and international grape clones, types of cultivation, vineyard altitudes, fermentation methods and temperatures, traditional and modern winemaking techniques, different types of wood, sizes and ages of barrels, and varying the length of bottle aging. "We have demonstrated, over the years, that in Tuscany and Umbria, there was the possibility of producing quality wines, internationally recognized, that could show elegance and finesse while always maintaining their original character.
Our library has many titles, but for us, it is not rich enough. We have a mission that is not yet fully accomplished, which drives us to express the vast potential of our vineyards and to reconcile the new that remains to be discovered with the heritage of Tuscan taste that includes tradition, culture, agriculture, the artistic and literary, which indeed represent the identity of the Antinori Marquises, one of whose greatest strengths lies in being Tuscan, or, if you prefer, our 'Toscanità'." Piero Antinori
The Antinori family has been part of PFV, "Premum Familiae Vini," an informal association of family-owned wineries since its founding. PFV goes beyond geographical boundaries and maintains a common bond: that of vineyard ownership and wine production as a family activity to cultivate and refine, like a great wine, over time.
