If you’re interested in owning a distinctive all-electric Maserati GranCabrio Folgore “Tignanello”, you have a chance at Festival Napa Valley’s Arts for All Gala on July 14, 2024 at Napa Valley’s Nickel & Nickel Winery. This luxury vehicle was specially crafted for Marchesi Antinori solely for the gala and to mark the 50th anniversary of Tignanello wine, known for its groundbreaking qualities.
The auction package not only includes an exclusive invitation as a guest of Maserati to the Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille in France in September 2024 for the car’s unveiling but also a unique behind-the-scenes tour of Maserati’s headquarters in Modena, Italy. Additionally, it offers a personalized Antinori experience in Tuscany with comprehensive visits to Tenuta Tignanello, Antinori nel Chianti Classico, Tenuta Guado al Tasso (Bolgheri), and Palazzo Antinori in Florence.
“This exceptional vehicle, inspired by the 50th anniversary of Tignanello, is a car with a distinct identity and recognizability, much like our wine. This initiative brings great pride to our family: the special GranCabrio Folgore will be auctioned at Festival Napa Valley’s 2024 Arts for All Gala with proceeds benefiting charity,” stated Piero Antinori.
This distinctive version of the premier 100% electric luxury convertible, known as the fastest in its class, embodies the attributes and principles of Marchesi Antinori and Tignanello. Paying homage to the renowned winemaking family from Florence, the colors, tones, cutting-edge materials, and sophisticated artisan elements represent a moving tribute to the esteemed Tignanello vineyard.
Potential buyers will compete for the unique Maserati and other extraordinary luxury travel, wine, and performing arts experiences in a lively live auction. Proxy bids are welcome; contact [email protected] or call 707-927-3874.
Acclaimed artist Lionel Richie will be the star performer at the Gala, and chef Elliot Bell, the proprietor of Charlie’s in St. Helena, will create a sophisticated dinner accompanied by single-vineyard wines from the Nickel & Nickel Winery. The event will be held at their historical farmstead venue in Oakville.
