Solaia is the crown jewel of the Antinori family, nestled in the heart of Tenuta Tignanello, between Greve and Val di Pesa. The name "Solaia", meaning "sunny one," reflects the vineyard’s ideal exposure, and it’s been wowing wine lovers since its debut in 1978. While Tignanello is all about Sangiovese, Solaia takes a different approach—its blend is led by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc adding depth and complexity. This iconic site produces some of the finest fruit on the planet and the wine has the scores to match, consistently earning sky-high praise from critics.
