About This Wine

Solaia is named for its vineyard, a 20 hectare southwest-facing slope at 350 to 400 metres on the Antinori family's Tignanello estate in Chianti Classico, with stony soils of alberese limestone and galestro marl. The first vintage, 1978, was 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc. Sangiovese joined the blend in the following years, and today the wine is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller shares of Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc.

Solaia is only made in exceptional years and was skipped in 1980, 1981, 1983, 1984 and 1992. It is labelled Toscana IGT.

The Antinori family has made wine in Tuscany since 1385, when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine vintners' guild.
