Antinori tasting at Buon Vino
Marchesi Antinori's passion for viticulture is expressed through perseverance: their continuous pursuit for quality improvement, even in the smallest details.
I've tried the odd Antinori wine here and there and was very excited to finally get to one of the Tuscany tastings at Buon Vino in Plano.
