The treasure of the Tenuta Tignanello estate, Solaia stands out on the sunniest slopes of Chianti Classico, representing with Tignanello the essence of innovation and tradition of the Antinori family.
These wines, created from exceptional grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese, benefit from an ideal microclimate and soil rich in limestone and schist, shaping their unique character.
The Antinori family’s relentless quest for perfection is embodied by Solaia and Tignanello, and is not only the result of an unbridled passion but also the symbol of a challenge continually taken up by Marquis Piero Antinori.
These wines, acclaimed by international critics as some of the most influential in the history of Italian viticulture, bear witness to the skill with which the Antinori family has raised its wines to the pinnacle of world renown, honoring the richness and diversity of the Tuscan terroir.
