Solaia: a high-sounding and prestigious name, synonymous with elegance and quality, excellence of Made in Italy. A great red from Tuscany, the pride of the Antinori marquises, who have been producing it since 1978 and only in the best vintages. Its story now belongs to legend: after creating Tignanello from the estate of the same name, the Marquis Piero Antinori decided to vinify the Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes alone, then blended to give life to a wine of great structure and complexity. It was only from 1982 that a 20% Sangiovese, included in the current composition, was introduced during the blending phase. It is a prestigious Supertuscan, born from the combination of the best grapes, the best vintage, the suitable terroir and the passion, research and tradition of the cellar. In short, at the base of a great red there must be a recipe studied in detail and Antinori knows how to dose the ingredients.
