Antinori

Producer description of "Antinori Marchesi" Wine offers for "Antinori" in find+buy

The noble family Antinori in the Tuscany (Toskana) has been dedicated to viticulture since 1385, spanning 26 generations of the family, when Giovanni di Piero Antinori (1363-1417) became a member of the "Arte Fiorentina dei Vinattieri", the Florentine winemakers' guild. During his lifetime, the rise of the famous noble family Medici (Medici) in Florence also took place. He came from a Florentine merchant family with a long tradition of winemaking. At that time, the city had endured many wars and several waves of plague. Wine production then formed, along with silk trade and international banking, the third pillar of the family's activities.

The connection to wine became the family's most important activity over the centuries. In 1506, Niccolò di Tommaso Antinori, one of the most promising and influential men in Florence at that time, acquired the Palazzo Antinori (known as Palazzo Boni), one of the most beautiful examples of Florentine Renaissance architecture, located just a few steps from the Arno River in the historic city center of Florence.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
