Donato degli Antinori
Wine remark
’Donato degli Antinori' is principally made from trebbiano grapes with a small quantity of malvasia grapes. Concentrated must and alcohol is added to the carefully- selected wine.
During the long ageing period in 50-200 litre barrels the wine acquires its typical features: bright colour, vibrant aromas of dried fruit and oak, and a smooth, pleasantly sweet flavour.

In Tuscany this wine is traditionally served at the end of the meal with almond biscuits called cantuccini.


Donato degli Antinori (Florence 1701 - Rome 1786), nephew of Pope Clement
XII, lived most of his life in Rome, working at the Vatican where he was honoured with important positions and offices.
The wine label shows an extract from a letter written by Donato on 6th March 1729 to his cousin Niccol? Antinori, expressing the thanks and gratitude of Pope Clement XII for the wines sent from Florence, especially an excellent sweet wine.
