100% Electric Luxury Convertible Created in
Collaboration with Marchesi Antinori in Celebration of
Tignanello Wine's 50th Anniversary
NAPA,
Calif., July 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As a
centerpiece of Festival Napa
Valley's Arts for All Gala, taking place July 14, 2024 at Nickel & Nickel Winery, the
Festival is auctioning off a bespoke all-electric Maserati
GranCabrio Folgore "Tignanello". The luxury automobile was created
for Marchesi Antinori exclusively for Festival Napa Valley's Arts
for All Gala and in celebration of the 50th anniversary
of Tignanello wine, one of the most influential red wines acclaimed
for being ahead of its time.
Festival Napa Valley Introduces a
one-of-a-kind Maserati masterpiece, benefiting its Arts for All
mission.
The auction package includes an invitation as
Maserati's guest to the Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille
in France in September 2024 where the car will be unveiled, a
behind-the-scenes immersive visit to Maserati's headquarters in
Modena, Italy, and a custom
Antinori experience in Tuscany
with all-inclusive experiences at Tenuta Tignanello, Antinori nel
Chianti Classico, Tenuta Guado al Tasso (Bolgheri), and Palazzo
Antinori in Florence.
"This one-of-a-kind model, inspired by Tignanello
for its 50th anniversary, is a car with great identity
and recognizability, just like our wine. It's an initiative that
makes our family particularly proud: this special GranCabrio
Folgore will be auctioned at Festival Napa Valley's 2024 Arts for
All Gala, with the proceeds donated to charity," said Piero Antinori.
This custom edition of the first 100% electric
luxury convertible, the fastest on the market, epitomizes the
characteristics and values of Marchesi Antinori and Tignanello. In
homage to the Florentine family of winemakers, the colors, shades,
innovative materials and refined artisan details present an ode in
motion to the prestigious Tignanello vineyard.
Bidders will have the chance to win the bespoke
Maserati and other once-in-a-lifetime luxury travel, wine, and
performing arts experiences in a fast-paced live auction. Bids
by proxy are accepted by contacting
concierge@festivalnapavalley.org or calling 707-927-3874.
International superstar Lionel Richie will headline the Gala, and chef

Marchesi Antinori
The Antinori family
has been committed to winemaking for over six centuries: since
May 1385, when Giovanni di Piero Antinori became a member of
the Florentine Guild of Winemakers. Throughout its long history,
across 26 generations, the family has always managed its business
directly with innovative and sometimes courageous choices but has
always maintained respect for traditions and its local
area. These days, the company is led by Albiera Antinori,
supported by her two sisters Allegra and Alessia, who are
personally involved in the business. Their father, Marchese Piero Antinori, is currently the
company's Honorary President. The family's historical heritage lies
in their estates in Tuscany and
Umbria, however over the years
they have invested in many other areas, both in Italy and abroad, well known for producing
high quality wine, opening up new opportunities to appreciate and
develop unique new terroirs with great winemaking potential.
