The jewel in the Antinori family’s crown, Solaia is located in the heart of Tenuta Tignanello, between Greve and Val di Pesa. Meaning 'sunny one', it was first produced in 1978 and whilst Tignanello is predominantly Sangiovese, the blend in Solaia is based primarily around Cabernet Sauvignon, with Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc both playing supporting roles. This now famous site produces some of the greatest fruit in the world and receives corresponding stratospheric scores from the critics.
