The history of Tűzkő Estate dates back to the beginning of the 1990s when Hungary went through some groundbreaking political and economic changes. This transformation created real market conditions and opened up the county for foreign investors as well.

The history, diversity, millennial traditions and hidden possibilities of the Hungarian wine regions attracted numerous, considerable business people to our country.

Two renowned Italian wine people: Marchese Piero Antinori and Marchese Jacopo Mazzei, who have been closely related to the world of wine for generations through their family traditions, discovered the potential of Tűzkő estate situated between the hills of Tolna, in the vicinity of Szekszárd wine region. They had foreseen the potential of establishing a winery with large capacity at high quality. When considering their decision, they took into account the following: the high quality of wines produced here, the astonishing beauty of the landscape, the impressive underground cellars, and the vineyards of the estate with a rich history.

As a result of the promising figures, Marchese Antinori decided to take over Tűzkő Estate in 2000.
