Antinori Italian Red
Tuscan reds from the family that started the Super Tuscan era.
The story behind Antinori
Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine Winemakers' Guild in 1385. Twenty six generations later the family still runs the house, and that continuity is the reason Antinori knows Sangiovese the way few others do. In the 1970s Piero Antinori broke the DOC rules, blended Sangiovese with Cabernet and Merlot, and aged it in small French barriques instead of big Slovenian casks. The Super Tuscan era started there.
We have poured these wines across this counter for three decades. The Chianti Classico and the Toscana Rosso are Tuesday night bottles. Tignanello is the one you open when the occasion earns it.
