Marchesi Antinori Srl is an Italian wine company that can trace its history back to 1385. They are one of the biggest wine companies in Italy, and their innovations played a large part in the "Super-Tuscan" revolution of the 1970s. The revolution came in 1971, with the launch of Tignanello, a barrique-aged wine from the eponymous vineyard aged that contained Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, which meant that it was ineligible for the Chianti Classico appellation.

Villa Antinori Toscana IGT is a similar blend as its father Tignanello with the addition of Merlot and Syrah added to the mix. This is a true Italian red that will be a perfect match this fall for those last minute dinner plans.
