Marchese Piero Antinori is a celebrity in the Italian and international wine world. In the 1970s, he was considered 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 were given the simplest designation of vino da tavola. Wine lovers quickly realized that these table wines turned out to be top wines. After years of fighting, the rules were changed, thanks to Antinori. The innovative marchese itself has long been on a different track. 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 is always the goal at the Antinoris: to produce delicious wine, at all levels.
