Solaia
The sunniest part of the Tignanello's hillside is home to the Solaia vineyard. In other words, this wine is made from the very best grapes from the very best vineyard. Intensely ruby red in colour with violet hues, the nose is remarkably complex: intense notes of small dark ripe fruit especially black currants, blackberries and purple plums that follow through to fresh hints of mint, myrtle and spicy notes of white pepper. Sweet aromas of powdered sugar, cocoa powder and licorice are seamlessly integrated. Entry on the palate is rich, enticing, vibrant with an excellent and well-balanced structure. Silky tannins accompany a lengthy finish defined by a persistent aftertaste with hints of dark chocolate.
Antinori
The Antinori family has been involved in the production of wine since 1385. During this entire long period, through twenty seven generations, the family has always directly managed this work with courageous and, at times, innovative decisions. Antinori revolutionized winemaking in their home region of Chianti, where they own some of the best vineyard sites, and were singularly responsible for the creation of the SuperTuscan category. Antinori have a long and established history of tradition and innovation, as well as supreme quality, and is among the world’s most respected producers.
