Established in 1385, this estate is a true icon of Italian wine production, managed by the same family for 26 generations.

The estate stretches across 3000 hectares of vineyards, dotted with olive trees, cypresses, and landscapes typical of the Tuscan countryside. Each vine parcel has been carefully selected for its soil characteristics and climate particularly suited to the cultivation of specific grape varieties. The Antinori Estate is particularly known for its commitment to innovate and experiment, while preserving respect for tradition. It was among the first in Italy to introduce French winemaking techniques, such as the use of small oak barrels for wine aging, while also valuing native grape varieties. The estate's commitment to excellence is reflected in the exceptional quality of its wines. The reds are rich, complex, and excellently structured, perfectly balanced between fruit, tannins, and acidity. The whites are elegant, fresh, and aromatic. The wines from the Antinori Estate are recognized worldwide for their refinement and distinctive character. Beyond viticulture, the Antinori Estate is also dedicated to promoting the culture and heritage of the region. It regularly hosts cultural and oenological events, and has a visitor center that offers wine tastings, estate tours, and an immersion into the history of the Antinori family.

Discover the grape variety: Vermentino

The vermentino grape variety was widespread in Italy, Sardinia and Corsica. Today, Vermentino is grown in the regions bordering the Mediterranean, mainly in Provence (Côtes de Provence, Bellet), Corsica (Corse Calvi), Languedoc (Côtes du Roussillon, Costières de Nîmes) and the Rhône Valley (Côtes du Luberon). Because it ripens late, Vermentino requires a warm climate for its development and can only be grown in regions with good sun exposure. Conversely, cold or temperate climates do not allow it to ripen properly. Vermentino is only susceptible to powdery mildew. When vinified on its own, Vermentino produces a single-variety dry white wine that is light and full-bodied with a pale yellow color. It can also be blended with other grape varieties such as Ugni Blanc, Cinsault and Grenache, in which case its low acidity makes it light and fresh. Vermentino belongs to the grape varieties of Ajaccio, Corsica and Corbières. The aromas released by this variety are multiple. One can detect notes of fresh apple, green almond, sweet spices, hawthorn, ripe pear and fresh pineapple.

Discover the grape variety: Cabernet franc

Cabernet Franc is one of the oldest red grape varieties in Bordeaux. The Libourne region is its terroir where it develops best. The terroirs of Saint-Emilion and Fronsac allow it to mature and develop its best range of aromas. It is also the majority in many blends. The very famous Château Cheval Blanc, for example, uses 60% Cabernet Franc. The wines produced with Cabernet Franc are medium in colour with fine tannins and subtle aromas of small red fruits and spices. When blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it brings complexity and a bouquet of aromas to the wine. It produces fruity wines that can be drunk quite quickly, but whose great vintages can be kept for a long time. It is an earlier grape variety than Cabernet Sauvignon, which means that it is planted as far north as the Loire Valley. In Anjou, it is also used to make sweet rosé wines. Cabernet Franc is now used in some twenty countries in Europe and throughout the world.
