THE PHILOSOPHY
 

Over the past 20 years Antinori has contributed significantly to the "Renaissance" of Italian wines, producing high quality wines of elegance and complexity which attract the attention and acclaim of wine connoisseurs throughout the world.

This innovative spirit remains at the core of Antinori philosophy. Our aim is to maximize the undiscovered potential in winemaking while insuring we safeguard the wealth of tradition, culture and taste which give our wines their unique identity.
The aim is to produce wine with improved style without losing its individual character.

"We want to produce wines with unmistakable personality,rather than imitations of wines from other countries. In order to improve and select our "noble regional grape varieties, we are committed to a long-term program of investments."

Now, more than ever, our best efforts are centered on viticulturewith the aim of achieving these objectives.

Looking into the future, Piero Antinori concludes, "The 1960's and 1970's were periods of fundamental advances in the fermentation and aging of wine, the epoch of the winemaker and the cellar. We are now operating on the margins of what can be discovered. In the future better wines will be the result of better grapes, a time of return to the vineyard, the key to quality winemaking."
