The family Antinori is one of the most established families in wine, they have been producing since 1385! It is a family that has been able to maintain tradition with an entrepreneurial spirit of innovation. The family had the genius idea of creating Super-Tuscans, with Tignanello in 1971 followed by Solaia in 1978. \u00a0Both wines are produced at the beautiful property of Tenuta Tignanello which is located in the heart of Chianti Classico and covers 319 hectares of which 130 is under vines.
\nLet\u2019s ask some questions to Francesco Visani, commercial director and responsible for the relationship with La Place de Bordeaux, and to St\u00e9fano Carpaneto, Director of this beautiful property which belongs to the Antinori family since the mid 1800\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Gerda<\/span>: Tell us about you…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Francesco Visani<\/strong>:I have been working for Marchesi Antinori since 2006, and for the last 12 years as sales manager for Solaia, Tignanello and Marchesi Antinori Chianti Classico. I am the person who is in contact with the Place de Bordeaux and the importers\/distributors all around the world.<\/p>\n

St\u00e9fano Carpaneto<\/strong>:\u00a0This year I celebrate my 20th birthday in the Antinori group. I am an agronomist and studied agriculture in Florence. My first job in the group was at one of our properties on the coast. I came back to the region Chianti Classico in 2005 and I am the director of Tenuta Tignanello since 2008. I am responsible for all processes from production, to hospitality and undertaking new challenges like climate changes we have to face. With my team, we give our best for this wonderful estate.<\/p>\n
