Marchese Piero Antinori is a leading figure in the Italian and international wine world. In the 1970s, he was seen as a rebel when he planted French grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in Tuscany. Because his wines did not meet the requirements of the wine law, they received the simplest designation of vino da tavola. Wine lovers quickly realised that these table wines turned out to be top wines. After years of struggle, the rules were changed, thanks to Antinori. The innovative marchese himself has long since taken a different path. Together with his three daughters, he has been busy for years rediscovering forgotten Italian grapes such as Aglianico and Fiano and how to make the best wines from them. Because that has always been the goal at the Antinori family: to produce delightful wine, at all levels.
