A Legacy of Excellence
The Antinori family, with a lineage tracing back centuries, has been at the forefront of Italian viticulture. In the heart of Tuscany, in the renowned Chianti Classico region, the Marchesi Antinori estate has been crafting exceptional wines for generations.
Among their many notable achievements, the creation of Tignanello stands as a pivotal moment in wine history. In 1971, Marchese Piero Antinori, a visionary winemaker, broke away from tradition and experimented with a unique blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc grapes.
This unconventional approach initially met with skepticism, challenging the established norms of Tuscan winemaking. However, Piero Antinori's unwavering belief in the potential of this innovative blend led him to persevere.
