Solaia, the jewel of Tenuta Tignanello, embodies the excellence and sophistication of great Tuscan wines. Grown on soils rich in limestone and galestro, this blend skillfully combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and a touch of Cabernet Franc, offering remarkable aromatic complexity. The nose unfolds with intense notes of ripe black fruits, blackcurrant, and plum, blended with balsamic nuances, sweet spices, tobacco, and cocoa. On the palate, Solaia seduces with its richness, powerful yet elegant structure, silky tannins, and a mineral freshness that perfectly balances the body. With a long finish, this noble wine is an ideal companion to roast meats, game in sauce, gourmet dishes, and mature cheeses, and it reveals its full potential after a few years of aging.

For over six centuries, the Antinori family has embodied Italian winemaking excellence, blending tradition, innovation, and a passion for the Tuscan terroir.

Solaia, the jewel of Tenuta Tignanello, perfectly illustrates the subtle balance between heritage and modernity that characterizes the estate. Made from a refined blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Franc, this powerful and elegant wine reveals an intense nose of black fruits, sweet spices, tobacco, and cocoa. On the palate, it seduces with its richness, silky structure, fine tannins, and a mineral freshness that underlines the purity of the terroir. Carefully aged in barrels, Solaia promises long aging potential and pairs elegantly with roasted meats, game, or mature cheeses.

True to a philosophy of respect for nature and time, the Antinori family continues its commitment to sustainable viticulture, striving to preserve the beauty and authenticity of the Italian landscape.
