Marchesi Antinori is based in San Casciano val di Pesa, in Tuscany. The family has been making wine since 1385, when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine Winemakers' Guild. The business has been run directly by the family across twenty-six generations.
In 1506 Niccolò di Tommaso Antinori bought Palazzo Antinori, also known as Palazzo Boni, for 4000 florins.
One of their Chianti Classico wines is the Badia a Passignano Gran Selezione. It's a Sangiovese with nothing else in the blend, made from vineyards around the abbey and aged in the abbey's cellars.
