standout Antinori connection

about founded in 1999, a collaboration between Tuscan nobility—Antinori—and equally prestigious Conti Maggi of Franciacorta. Style is rich, with barrel fermentation and no malolactic fermentation. This is balanced by Chardonnay being the prominent variety in their blends. Now branded under the Marchese Antinori name. Attention to detail is clear: Antinori don’t stint on money or research.
