About Marchesi Antinori
Marchesi Antinori is one of Italy’s oldest and most influential wine producers, with a history that spans over six centuries and 26 generations. The Antinori family began their involvement in winemaking in 1385, when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine Winemakers’ Guild. Since then, the family has continuously managed the business, maintaining a deep respect for tradition while embracing innovation and experimentation.
Based in Tuscany, the heart of Italian viticulture, Marchesi Antinori’s estates cover some of the region’s most prestigious appellations, including Chianti Classico, Montalcino, and Bolgheri. The company’s headquarters, Antinori nel Chianti Classico, is an architectural landmark that reflects the family’s philosophy of blending heritage with modernity. Their portfolio extends beyond Tuscany, with significant vineyards in Umbria, Piedmont, and internationally, in California, Chile, Hungary, and Romania.
The Antinori family played a pivotal role in the transformation of Italian wine, particularly with the creation of Tignanello in the 1970s. This groundbreaking wine, a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, challenged traditional DOC regulations and helped usher in the era of “Super Tuscans.” Tignanello, along with Solaia and Guado al Tasso, exemplifies the family’s commitment to quality and willingness to innovate. These wines consistently receive critical acclaim and are sought after by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.
Marchesi Antinori’s range is extensive, encompassing reds, whites, and sparkling wines. Their Chianti Classico labels, such as Pèppoli, Badia a Passignano, and the historic Villa Antinori, showcase the elegance and depth of Sangiovese. In Umbria, the family produces Cervaro della Sala, a celebrated white blend that demonstrates their skill with international varieties like Chardonnay and Grechetto. Across all their wines, there is a focus on expressing the unique character of each vineyard and respecting the local terroir.
Leadership of the company remains firmly in family hands, with Marchese Piero Antinori having guided the estate through a period of dynamic growth and international recognition. His daughters, Albiera, Allegra, and Alessia, are now at the helm, ensuring the continuity of the Antinori legacy and bringing new perspectives to the business. The family’s approach emphasizes sustainability, research, and a deep connection to the land, with investments in organic viticulture and environmentally responsible practices across their estates.
Marchesi Antinori is also dedicated to cultural and social initiatives, supporting art, education, and the preservation of historical sites in Tuscany. Their cellars and estates are open to visitors, offering immersive experiences that highlight the intersection of wine, history, and Italian culture.
With a blend of tradition, innovation, and family stewardship, Marchesi Antinori continues to shape the landscape of Italian wine. Their enduring commitment to excellence, respect for terroir, and forward-thinking ethos ensure that the Antinori name remains synonymous with the highest standards in winemaking.
