90% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot.
The wine presents itself to the eye with a ruby red color tinged with violet hues. It has an intense aroma, with hints of pleasant floral notes. Being of good structure, the wine is well-rounded, harmonious, and rich on the palate. The finish is by sweet tannins and a lingering taste of the fruit from which it was born.
The Antinori family has been making wine for over six hundred years, since Giovanni di Piero Antinori became part of the Arte Fiorentina dei Vinattieri in 1385. Throughout its long history, spanning 26 generations, the family has always personally managed the business making innovative, sometimes courageous choices, always with unwavering respect for tradition and the land.
Today Marchese Piero Antinori is director of the company, assisted by his three daughters, Albiera, Allegra and Alessia, who are personally involved in the business. The qualities of tradition, passion and instinct have made Antinori one of the leading Italian producers of fine quality wines.
Every vintage, every terroir, every idea is a new beginning, a new quest to raise our quality margins. As Marchese Piero loves to repeat: “ancient roots play an important role in our philosophy, but they have never held back our spirit of innovation”.
