Antinori hires Swedish wine maker Helena Lindberg for new venture

Antinori has recruited the Swedish (!) winemaker Helena Lindberg to manage the Tenuta Campo di Sasso winery. Campo di Sasso has already launched a mid range/entry level wine called Insolio del Cinghiale (Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon) and plan to launch next year a top range wine called Il Pino di Biserno (who said that French wine names were difficult to remember?). Helena has previously worked in Bordeaux, Italy, Australia and New Zealand. She will also be helping Antinori with a new vineyard venture in New Zealand. www.campodisasso.com (another of these annoying animated Flash sites…)
