Winery Marchese Antinori

The Antinori family has been connected to winemaking for centuries and is recorded as active in the wine trade as early as 1385. The "Marchese Antinori" label is among the winery's historic names; since the 2011 vintage the Chianti Classico Riserva "Marchese Antinori" has been produced exclusively from grapes from Tenuta Tignanello, one of the family's most representative estates.

It combines respect for tradition and the land with technical innovation: vineyard care, ampelographic research and careful winemaking practices to enhance the expression of Sangiovese and the historic parcels of Chianti Classico.

Production is firmly rooted in Chianti Classico. The Tenuta Tignanello estate is located on the hills between the Greve and Pesa valleys; the soils are calcareous-marly, which contribute to the wine's character.

Awards and recognitions for the Antinori group and brand: among examples cited online, Marchesi Antinori was named "The World's Most Admired Wine Brand", and the family/company has received various awards and recognitions over the years.
