On the occasion of these first fifty years of Tignanello, the

Antinori family replanted the last part of the Tignanello hillside

vineyard and took the opportunity to pay homage to the city of

Florence and the Italian culture on a wider scale. The primary

aim was to pay tribute to wine with a tasting of five vintages

representative of the five decades at Tenuta Tignanello. In

addition, Palazzo Antinori in Florence was ‘enlivened’ for

the first time in its history with the evocative experiential art

installation Ars Una, by artist Felice Limosani, on display from

31 May to 16 June. The Antinori family’s unbreakable bond with

Florence is also evidenced by its commitment to support the

restoration of the Ponte Vecchio for conservation purposes,

which will begin in the fall of 2024 and continue through 2026.

There is perhaps no better union in Italy than that between

artistic culture and wine culture: a tribute to the minds and

hands of the best Italian artisans.
