Since 1385, for more than 6 centuries and 26 generations, the philosophy of Antinori's family, is based on the preservation and deference to Italian oenological tradition and also on the constant experimentation, offering to each one of us the joy of discovering this unique combination.
Since 1966 Marchese Piero Antinori, son of Marchese Niccolò, actively runs the company along with his three daughters, Albiera, Allegra and Alessia. Today Albiera is he president with the continuous close support of her two sisters., while their father is the Honorary president of the company. Tradition, passion and intuition are the three driving forces that led Marchesi Antinori to establish itself as one of the most important winemakers of the elite Italian wine.
Each vineyard and winery of Antinori has its own character, history and microcosm, that are perceived each time you taste one of his fine wines.
Antinori's vineyards for red wine are mostly settled in Tuscany. Particularly, in Chianti Classico area, where the family owns three estates of 575 decares, Tignanello, Pèppoli and Badia a Passignano. In Bolgheri area, we meet the famous vineyards and winery of Guado Al Tasso, where the well-known Super Tuscans are produced. White wine is produced in Umbria, Orvieto Classico, in Castello della Sala winery and in Tuscany at Monteloro.

Also, its presence is noticeable in other countries like California, Washington, Chile Hungary, Rumania and Malta.
