Solaia
About Solaia
Solaia is one of the most refined and coveted Super Tuscans from the illustrious Antinori family. It is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine with a touch of Sangiovese that showcases the excellence and tradition of Tuscan winemaking.
Solaia comes from a 50-acre parcel of southwest-facing vineyards on the same hillside as Tignanello, the other flagship wine of Marchesi Antinori. The vineyards are located at an altitude of 350-400 metres and receive the most sunlight exposure in the Tignanello estate. This gives Solaia its rich and complex character that reflects its terroir and history.
Solaia is only produced in exceptional vintages and has earned a reputation as one of Italy’s most influential cuvées. It is a wine that combines Bordeaux elegance with Tuscan power and finesse.
