Alessia Antinori represents the twenty-sixth generation of a Florentine family that has made wine without interruption since 1385. Together with her sisters, Albiera and Allegra, she leads Marchesi Antinori – one of the oldest family companies in the world. She succeeds Prince Robert of Luxembourg, President of Domaine Clarence Dillon, who welcomed the twelve families to Château Haut-Brion this week for the formal handover of the presidency
The theme highlights cultural preservation through historic estates, contemporary architecture, and intergenerational dialogue, reaffirming the association’s commitment to safeguarding wine’s cultural and historical significance across twelve renowned family-owned estates.
Each PFV presidency is guided by a theme that shapes the families’ dialogue for the year. Alessia Antinori has chosen Art, Architecture and Wine – three disciplines united by their power to preserve memory, interpret place, and connect generations. For the PFV families, the theme is lived rather than academic. A wine estate is never merely an agricultural facility: it is a cultural landmark, shaped by centuries of building, collecting and patronage.
