The vintages that we were able to taste were 2003 through 2008. The 2003 vintage was a wine we produced and kept in our wine library as we were evaluating the potential of our wine estate. Vintages 2004 through 2007 are vintages that have been released to the market….2007 being the current wine in the market.

The wines demonstrate the evolving potential of our estate with the patience that is a hallmark of the Antinori winegrowing philosophy. Glenn Salva Antica Estate Manager
