The Seasons of Solaia Assortment Case curated by the historic Marchesi Antinori family represents a journey through the microclimate of one of Italy's most legendary single vineyards. Solaia, meaning 'the sunny one,' is a prized 20-hectare plot located on the Tignanello estate in the heart of Chianti Classico. First crafted in 1978, Solaia challenged Italian winemaking traditions by blending Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc with a touch of native Sangiovese, grown on limestone-rich alberese and clay-schist galestro soils. This assortment case showcases the vintage variation of this iconic Super Tuscan, which is aged meticulously in French oak barrels. It tells a story of familial dedication dating back to 1385, capturing the sun-drenched terroir, structure, and elegance of Tuscany in every bottle.
