(Antinori) Pian Delle Vigne
(Marchesi) Antinori is, without a doubt, one of Italy’s most famous wine producers established over six centuries ago and spans an impressive twenty-six generations. Following the unwavering stewardship of Piero Antinori for many decades, the baton was recently passed onto his three daughters. Albiera, Allegra, and Alessia (pictured) who now oversee this Tuscan dynasty. Balancing courageous and innovative decisions while maintaining a fundamental respect for time-honoured techniques is never easy, yet this pioneer of Italian wine is thriving and continues to be driven by its three guiding principles; tradition, passion, and intuition. The Antinori family ventured into Montalcino in 1995 with the acquisition of Tenuta Pian delle Vigne, an estate aptly named after the 19th century train station located on site. The property totals 184 hectares, of which 65 hectares are dedicated to vines near the village of Tavernelle. Now with over 20 vintages of experience and through their philosophy of traditional ageing in large casks, Antinori create rich, powerful, and elegant wines, that more than deserve their place at the top table.
