Wines made included Merlot, Syrah, Nobile di Montepulciano, and Rosso di Montepulciano with a production capacity of some 10,000 cases annually.

Antinori’s Montepulciano estate makes solid, dark and concentrated modern-style wines with considerable international appeal. The wines from this estate is well priced and remain affordable to the average wine consumer.
