Antinori
Antinori is the most famous name in Italian wine and the influence of Piero Antinori in the last 25 years has been nothing short of revolutionary. Antinori's flagship wine, Tignanello, first appeared in 1971 and caused a sensation by its use of Cabernet Sauvignon in a Sangiovese blend and with its practice of ageing in small French barriques. Antinori was accused of vinous treachery and treason but soon barrique-aged blends of Sangiovese and Cabernet began appearing all across Tuscany.
Solaia is a Cabernet-dominated blend, which, like Tignanello, is from the Santa Cristina estate and is stunningly rich. Tenuta Belvedere is in Bolgheri on the Mediterranean coast and Guado al Tasso, which is a Cabernet/Merlot blend, has been a tremendous success.
Piero Antinori is still in charge, ably assisted by his 3 daughters.

The 2004 Guado al Tasso is a wonderful Cabernet based Super-Tuscan from the great Marchesi Antinori. Rich, dark fruit is the immediate sensation here with black fruit from the 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, lifted by hints of liquorice from the 10% Syrah. The reamining 40% is made up of Merlot which ...
