The journalist Di Martino remarked that among the top companies, “once again Marchesi Antinori stands out: it is fourth in the standings, but it would be third if consolidated assets were considered, as they exceed 200 million. It is also number one for vineyards owned and profitability, taking into account the amount of its turnover compared to that of Tenuta San Guido (30 million euros)”.
