Tuscan wine family on '60 Minutes'
In this Sunday’s episode of the CBS news program "60 Minutes," Morley Safer goes to Tuscany and Umbria for a report on the Antinori family, which has been making wine in Italy for more than 600 years. No, that’s no typo. Six hundred years. For decades, Marchese Piero Antinori has been the face of the family business and one of the most important wine producers in Italy, but now his three daughters — Albiera, Allegra and Alessia — are poised to guide the family business in the 21st century.
Catch a peek of what’s to come at the CBS website . The site also has a three-minute reporter’s notebook from Safer.
Break out some salami, some crusty bread and a bottle of Antinori wine and enjoy.
— S. Irene Virbila
