ANTINORI, TUSCANY, ITALY
 Twenty-six generations of the Marchesi Antinori family -- one of less than a
handful of families to produce and market wine uninterruptedly for six centuries
-- have produced remarkable wines since 1385.
The family's unique amalgam of centuries-old Tuscan and Umbrian tradition with
modern innovation has made Antinori the premier wine-producing family of Italy
for over 600 years.
If one could sum up Antinori's philosophy in a sentence it would be, according
to Marchese Piero Antinori, president of Antinori, "Age-old roots play an
important role in our philosophy, but they have not served to inhibit our
innovative spirit."
In fact, Antinori continually experiments in its vineyards
and at its wineries, with clonal selection of indigenous and international grape
varieties, cultivation, vineyard altitudes, fermentation methods and
temperatures, traditional and modern vinification techniques, wood barrel types,
sizes and ages, and varying
lengths of bottle age.
