Antinori

The Antinori family have been involved in winemaking for over six hundred years, since Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine Winemakers’ Guild in 1385. Throughout 26 generations, the family has always managed the business making innovative and courageous choices, whilst respecting tradition and the land. Until the 1960s Antinori had in addition to vineyards cultivated cereals and fruit trees.

The years following WWII proved hugely challenging for Italy, many historic vineyards fell into neglect and new plantings of poorer quality vines gave rise to poorer quality wines. In 1966 Piero Antinori, 25th generation of the Antinori family, took over from his father Niccolò and set his mind to reviving the fortunes of not just Tuscan but Italian wines in general. Two decades of big investments, bankrolled by several huge financial gambles, paid off and have seen the company blossom into Marchese Piero Antinori’s extraordinary vision. He has been a hugely influential and inspirational figure, and the catalyst for so many of the leaps and seismic changes in Italian winemaking. They have been a major force in getting Italian wine noticed and in bringing about the regulation changes that improved the quality of wine from Chianti. Antinori estates and vineyards can be found across Chianti and in Orvieto. Tenuta Tignanello is their flagship estate, where their legendary Tignanello and Solaia are made. After decades of Marchese Piero Antinori heading up the company, today his daughter Albiera Antinori is the company's president and is closely assisted by her sisters Allegra and Alessia.

Vintage guide

Last year’s vintage, 2023, proved complicated, good in the north but in central and southern regions, more tricky resulting in one of the smallest vintages of recent years. A dry winter followed by a hot summer has certainly affected yields in 2022, but the quality looks excellent across the country. Small but perfectly formed seems to sum up the 2021 vintage here. Across most of the country the 2020 vintage is looking very good indeed with ripe fruit and lovely aromatics. A classic if not straight forward vintage 2019 has delivered some excellent wines but in smaller quantity. Overall, the results are very good in 2018, though a warm wet early summer led to disease pressures in many parts of the country. The Northeast, home to Prosecco amongst others did particularly well; so too did Tuscany and Piedmont but yields were a little down in some estates. 2017 saw a small crop of excellent wines; spring frosts and a later heatwave nicknamed ‘Lucifer’ reduced yields, but you’ll find good results on the whole with excellent results in Piedmont. Yields were down in 2016 but quality is high, Piedmont and Tuscany at least as good as 2015. 2015 is generally an excellent vintage across Italy, perhaps reds having the edge over whites.
