Producer Information

This family estate winery lies in the northwestern corner of the Chianti region, resting on the hills between the Montalbano and Arno valleys, where 123 acres of vines are joined by some 2,000 olive trees on the Poggiotondo property. Founder and winemaker Alberto Antonini is a scholar of modern winemaking, building on the knowledge of generations of Tuscan winegrowers before him through studies at the University of Florence, Bordeaux University, and University of California Davis. Ten years honing his skills with Tuscan leaders Frescobaldi, d’Orcia and Antinori led to winemaking stints in the United States, before establishing his own oenological consultancy company. While Alberto’s projects now span the globe, none provide the opportunity to express his deepest winemaking convictions more succinctly than these Tuscan vineyards, where he lives with his wife Alessandra and their three children. Here, flanking the Apennines in the path of the Arno River’s sea-bound journey from Florence to Pisa, the vineyards enjoy a Mediterranean influence. The mild, even climate lends suppleness to the oft-astringent and angular king of Tuscan grapes, Sangiovese, and soils riddled with remnants of sea life afford minerality and complexity to these modern DOCG and IGT renditions.
