THE WINES
When the Antinori family built a winery in Napa in the 1990s, it was quite the endorsement. Some 600 years of winemaking experience ultimately guided them to the iconic American appellation. This Cabernet Sauvignon expresses both the limitless potential of California wine and the know-how derived from a lengthy tenure as international industry leaders.
Tasting Notes: Dark, brambly fruit and baking chocolate, backed by structured tannins
The only Washington state project from the Antinori family, Col Solare capitalizes on the one-of-a-kind conditions of the Red Mountain AVA. Here, in the state’s warmest appellation with windblown soils not found anywhere else, are the makings of truly distinctive wines.
Tasting Notes: Equal parts black cherry, espresso, cacao and dried cinnamon
First assembled in 1928, this deftly blended red embodies the Antinori way. Showing harmony and sophistication in the glass, this wine is a careful combination of Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah all grown on the family estates in Tuscany. See why it’s become a must-have in the cellars of so many of Italy’s royal houses, hotels and embassies.
Tasting Notes: A complex blend of plum, boxwood, mint and a touch of pepper
This Rosé glows a peach hue in the glass, showing cherry, floral and savory components. The name refers to the more than 700 bays that dot the Apulian peninsula in southern Italy, part of an idyllic coastline the grapes are grown and thrive in.
Tasting Notes: Hints of melon, pomegranate and cherry
Made from Chardonnay grown in Puglia, this wine embodies its southern Italian roots. Clean, bracing and kissed by the Adriatic Sea, it’s illuminated by bright fruit and a hint of ocean salt. The Antinori family expanded to Puglia in 1998, enamored by the region’s palpable terroir.
Tasting Notes: Crisp, clean and invigorating notes of pear and citrus rind
The Italian Northeast, located at the footsteps of the Alps, is known as the ideal home of the Pinot Grigio grape. White wines especially thrive, showing pronounced minerality and unfathomable freshness. This Pinot Grigio is no different, nimble as a gymnast and beaming with character.
Tasting Notes: Full of luminous flavors like pineapple, kiwi, green apple and Meyer lemon
