✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Tracing its winemaking heritage back to 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Guild of Florentine Winemakers, Marchesi Antinori stands as one of the world's most enduring and influential wine dynasties. For more than twenty-six generations, the family has balanced deep reverence for Tuscan tradition with bold, pioneering innovation, most notably catalyzing the Super Tuscan revolution in the late 20th century. Based at their architecturally stunning headquarters in San Casciano in Val di Pesa, the estate oversees prestigious properties across Tuscany, Umbria, and beyond, with viticulture dedicated to capturing the distinct soul of each terroir. Today, led by Marchese Piero Antinori alongside his daughters Albiera, Allegra, and Alessia, the house produces iconic masterpieces including the legendary Sangiovese-Cabernet blend Tignanello, the opulent Solaia, and the benchmark Italian white Cervaro della Sala.
