“Pèppoli” Chianti Classico DOCG 2020
Sparkling, intense ruby with a light garnet shimmer. The Pèppoli already expresses its strength of personality with the bouquet of ripe fruit, in which light mineral accents can be found. Gentle and at the same time powerful, the taste spreads out on the palate with lively tannins and lingers long. Very good drinking flow. SUPERIORE.DE

“Marchese Antinori” Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2018
Since the 2011 vintage, the Riserva Marchese Antinori has been produced one hundred percent from grapes from Tenuta Tignanello. This reduced the production volume and set in motion a further leap in quality. Sparkling ruby, dark wild cherries, graphite, violets and spices in the bouquet. Flowing and round on the palate, very juicy, the French oak adds volume and richness. SUPERIORE.DE
"The name Tenuta Tignanello is emblazoned on the label and already gives a foretaste of the future wines of the Tenute Antinoris under the DOCG Chianti Classico: homely nose of violets and raspberries; well-structured yet elegant on the palate, dense and full-bodied until the balanced fruit finish." Vinum
"Dark ruby. After rich cherries, precious woods and black pepper in the nose, reminiscent of blackberry jelly in the finish, some rose petal, fine-smelling. Presents itself balanced and with a nice fan on the palate, crisp acidity supports the clear fruit, with a salty core, punchy finish." Falstaff
"This is very lively and energetic with fine tannins and a long, focused finish. Aromatic and bright with berries, plums and flowers. Medium body. with savory acidity and a long finish." James Suckling
"This wine is made exclusively with fruit from the gorgeous Tenuta Tignanello in San Casciano Val di Pesa (home to its namesake wine Tignanello, and Solaia) and sees mostly Sangiovese blended with a smaller part Cabernet Sauvignon and other complementary grapes. The Marchesi Antinori 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Marchese Antinori vaunts a smooth and silky personality with ample berry definition and brightness. The previous 2017 vintage revealed more black and purple fruits because of the scorching hot and dry summer that year, but this wine from the cooler 2018 growing season focuses on red raspberry and cherry instead. That fruit is framed by light spice (from Hungarian and French oak) and licorice." Robert Parker
"Cherry, black currant and raspberry flavors are at the heart of this red, flanked by vanilla, toasty oak, mineral and tobacco elements. There is a beam of ripe fruit and dusty tannins right through the long finish." Wine Spectator
"The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Marchese Antinori offers a beguiling mix of Sangiovese energy and Cabernet Sauvignon savoriness. Translucent and energetic, the 2018 has much to offer. I would prefer to see a bit more Sangiovese character, but the Marchese is designed to be a sort of mini-Tignanello and it leans towards the more savory end of the spectrum because of the presence of Cabernet Sauvignon."

“Tignanello” Toscana IGT 2019
Tenuta Tignanello is located in the heart of Chianti Classico on the rolling hills between the valleys of the Greve and Pesa rivers and comprises 319 hectares of land, of which about 130 are planted. The estate's vineyards include two jewels: Tignanello and Solaia, located on the same hill, on marl soils rich in limestone and slate of marine origin dating back to the Pliocene, and which benefit from warm days and fresh nights during the growing season. From these vineyards are produced two wines that many years ago had the stature to become the starting point of the renaissance of Italian wine. This has not changed to this day.
Intense ruby red. Deep, complex nose of ripe red berries like sour cherry, Amarena cherry and redcurrant, in the background a delicate mint and vanilla note and spicy hints of white pepper and myrtle. In the mouth, very straightforward and precise, juicy, fresh and with silky smooth fruit and well-dosed tannin, in the further course of captivating elegance, finesse and with wonderful length. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2019 Tignanello is one of the most reserved, understated young wines I can remember tasting here. In so many vintages Tignanello is quite showy, but in 2019 the nervous energy and brightness of Sangiovese takes center stage. That’s intriguing, because the 2019 blend has a bit more Cabernet Sauvignon than normal, a decision made to compensate for some of the lighter qualities in the Sangiovese. With air the 2019 shows gorgeous depth and captivating inner perfume, even if it is clearly still coming together." Vinous
"Extremely perfumed and vivid, with fresh mushrooms, cherry stones and blackberries. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins that are long and complete. Fresh acidity. Tangy and vibrant. Lovely is the word." James Suckling

Limitation of 1 articles per customer“Solaia” Toscana IGT 2018
Intense ruby red. Elegant the articulate bouquet that reveals ripe dark berries, tobacco, liquorice and balsamic notes. Impressively persistent, the characterful and enveloping taste with silky tannins and a spicy-smoky impression. The perfect dosage of all components give this exceptional wine the complexity and harmony that makes it unforgettable. A magical wine of great class and with great potential. SUPERIORE.DE
"Dense, mature colour. Sweet, tantalising, slightly matured and charming, the Solaia smells of caramel and full-bodied, somewhat confit red fruits, with plenty of spice and fine wood. Full, round, very melting and immediately accessible, it presents itself in the mouth. Then powerful tannins with a lot of core and meat create space on the palate, long and heavy, with a sweet, Tuscan aftertaste. Nutty chocolate tones and a racy acidity merge with a slightly rough tannin vibration to create an intense final chord." Weinwisser
"Rich, dark ruby with a slight violet shimmer. Very clear, fruit-driven nose, some mint, plus dark currant, some dark chocolate and liquorice. On the palate lots of juicy, very well brought out fruit, dark currants and mulberries, very well placed tannin, finely meshed and long." Falstaff
"Vibrant black currant, violet, vanilla and toasty oak flavors are the hallmarks of this classy red, which is succulent and balanced, with fine grip and a long, fruit-, iron- and spice-tinged aftertaste. More on the elegant side than powerful, yet this would benefit from an additional two to three years aging." Wine Spectator
"Very aromatic and lively on the nose with currants, fresh herbs, white pepper and cherry blossoms. Full-bodied with a vertical, multilayered structure and ultra fine tannins. Velvety texture. Extremely long and focused. Complex and succulent. This is the smallest production of Solaia ever. Great length. This is a beautifully complex red that’s open now, but needs another three to four years to show even more of its excellence." James Suckling
"The Marchesi Antinori 2018 Solaia reveals a silky and elegant personality, and the wine steps away from some of the more robust fruit weight and dark concentration that we've seen in the past. This elegant vintage prizes fruit purity and focus with black plum, cassis, blue flower, pencil shaving and lots of sweet spice from the oak that recalls clove and toasted almond. The blend is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller parts Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese. The fruit is harvested at the Antinori family's Tenuta Tignanello at the heart of the Chianti Classico appellation. The percentage of Cabernet Franc used in the blend is the ultimate Solaia wild card. In this vintage, the Franc has been increased to 7%, and that number is expected to be even higher in 2019 as the vines get older and the fruit more complex. This is a beautiful wine." Robert Parker
"From its sloped southwesterly expired position in the sunniest 20-hectare part of Tignanello’s hillside home comes this sunkissed wine bursting with ripe raisins, blackcurrants and cherries. The texture here is so enjoyable but so is the acidity, subtly mouthwatering with creamy touches around the sides. Such depth and elegance, very well constructed, juicy and plush but at the same time this has a quiet personality. A delicious wine, Wait to drink, this has a long life ahead." Decanter
"The 2018 Solaia continues to develop beautifully. Resonant and ample on the palate, with tons of vibrancy, the 2018 offers terrific vibrancy as well as character. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, blackberry jam, licorice and spice build as the Solaia gains momentum over time. The 2018 is dense and beautifully layered, yet retains the mid-weight structure of this super elegant vintage." Vinous

Books with several hundred pages have been written about the Antinori family. It is therefore not easy to write a short form.
The Marchesi Antinori have been in the wine business for 27 generations or almost 640 years. It is the oldest family winery in Italy, the family has been inseparably linked to Tuscany and the city of Florence for 800 years. Since 1385 Giovanni di Piero Antinori started with silk, wool, banking and wine, the incomparable success story has been written.
Marchese Piero Antinori was the engine of the last decades. With his motto "Good wine needs an idea and a lot of passion" he was able to convince well-known comrades-in-arms. Names such as Giacomo Tacchis, Emile Peynaud and Renzo Cotarella stand for numerous wine projects that have transformed and modernised Italy's wine world.
Especially the "invention of the Supertuscans" with Solaia and Tignanello, but also the rise of unknown regions are among the successes of the Antinoris. With the Cervaro della Sala they created the most successful white wine in Italy, with Montenisa an excellent Franciacorta, on La Braccesca they pressed Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and outstanding Syrah. With the Tenuta Pèppoli, Santa Cristina and Badia a Passignano, Antinori proves, along with the Riserva Villa Antinori, that you can also pull out all the stops in the home game of the Chianti Classico. Guado al Tasso is one of the dominant wineries of Bolgheri, Pian delle Vigne is the Brunello di Montalcino, Prunotto the Barolo. With Tormaresca, two top wineries in Apulia trade under the Antinoris flag and in the Fattoria Aldobrandesca, the family is experimenting with Aleatico.
The Antinori family has long been internationally successful. Be it in Napa Valley in California with the winery Antica Napa Valley, or the joint ventures at Stag's Leap, Col Solare in Washington State, Haras de Pirque in Chile, Meridiana in Malta, Tüzkö in Hungary or Vitis Metamorfosis in Romania: Exciting projects and wines are created everywhere.
With Cantinetta Antinori and Procacci, Antinoris are also successful in the gastronomy of Florence, Zurich, Vienna, Moscow and Singapore, exporting Tuscan delights on plates and in glasses. Needless to say, most of the Antinori family's wineries offer guided tours, wine tastings and cooking seminars.
The new "headquarters" is particularly worth a visit. The winery is located in Bargino, near San Casciano in Val di Pesa, a few kilometres south of Florence and close to Badia di Passignano, where the Antinoris were first mentioned in 1179. The elongated building, crouched into the landscape, was designed and realised by the Florentine architect Laura Andreini and is regarded worldwide as a showcase project.
Marchese Piero Antinori has thus set himself a monument, so to speak, before he handed over the management to his daughters after fifty years in 2017 and retired from everyday business as Honorary President. Anyone who knows him knows, however, that he is not sitting quietly at home in an armchair. And so you can meet him quite relaxed at all kinds of wine events since then. Albiera Antinori now leads the fate of Marchesi Antinori Srl and is supported by her two sisters Allegra and Alessia. Because of the many takeover bids, a trust company was founded which was not allowed to sell shares for 90 years. So the family empire is secured. SUPERIORE.DE
