Winery
The Antinori have dedicated themselves to the art of viticulture for more than six hundred years: ever since, in 1385, Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine Guild of Winemakers.
For 26 generations, the family has always managed this activity directly, making innovative and sometimes courageous choices, but always maintaining unaltered respect for tradition and for the territory.
Each vintage, each soil, each idea is a new beginning, a new search for higher and higher quality margins. As Marquis Piero likes to say: "the ancient roots play an important role in our philosophy, but they have never inhibited our innovative spirit".
Description
Marchesi Antinori's "Vie Cave" red wine was born in the vineyards of the Fattoria Aldobrandesca, from careful geological and enological research aimed at enhancing the potential of a grape variety new to the Italian scene, Malbec, a grape of French origin. Balanced, with a marked softness, it encapsulates all the charm of the production territory. The name is dedicated to the Etruscan Vie Cave, deep streets carved into the rock that mark the farm's land.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Vie Cave 2019 shows an intense ruby red color. The nose shows notes of ripe black fruit combined with hints of spice and vanilla. The palate is surprising for its balance: silky tannins are accompanied by fruity notes giving the wine an extraordinary persistence. In the finish aromas perceived by the nose return with pleasing sensations of bitter chocolate.
Storage time:
4-8 years old

destemming and soft pressing; maceration in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature of 30 °C
