Solaia is sourced from a single 20-hectare vineyard situated at 350 to 400 meters above sea level on the Tignanello estate in the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany. The soils are composed of calcareous clay and limestone with a southwest exposure. The 2015 vintage was characterized by a warm, dry growing season with cool nights, promoting optimal phenolic ripeness. The blend consists of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese, and 7% Cabernet Franc. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation in new French oak barrels, followed by approximately 18 months of aging in oak before bottling.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Tracing its winemaking heritage back to 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine Winemakers' Guild, Marchesi Antinori has been shaped by twenty-six generations of family leadership. Headquartered in the heart of Chianti Classico, the family has expanded its portfolio across prestigious estates in Tuscany, Umbria, and beyond, driven by a philosophy that balances deep historical respect with bold innovation. Antinori famously pioneered the "Super Tuscan" movement in the 1970s, introducing revolutionary French oak aging and international varieties to create iconic labels like Tignanello and Solaia. Today, their diverse portfolio spans from the elegant Sangiovese of Badia a Passignano to the acclaimed white blend Cervaro della Sala, cementing their legacy as global ambassadors of Italian fine wine.
