A rare and elegant box set uniting six vintages of an emblematic Tuscan wine
The estate
An emblematic name among great Tuscan wines, in Italy and the world, Tenuta Tignanello from the Antinori family is located in the historic heart of the Chianti Classico region. The estate is placed in an enchanting landscape in the hills and between the rivers Grève and Pesa. Antinori - Tenuta Tignanello is world-renowned for its two iconic wines, Tignanello and Solaia, considered among the most influential wines in the history of Italian viticulture.
The vineyard
The Tenuta Tignanello estate stretches across 319 hectares, of which 130 are dedicated to the production of great Tuscan wines. The vines are planted on marly soils dating back to the Pliocene era, rich in limestone and schist. The Mediterranean climate in the region is characterised by significant temperature variations between night and day during the ripening cycle of the vines. The location and terroir of the Tenuta Tignanello vineyard are particularly suited to the cultivation of the Sangiovese grape. Other varieties are grown, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
The wine
The result of a plot selection, Solaia is produced from the sunniest part of the vineyard on the Tignanello hillside. Solaia’s first vintage was created in 1978. Produced in IGT Toscana, this exceptional Tuscan wine is only developed in the great vintages.
The Solaia Back Vintages Limited Edition Antinori - Tenuta Tignanello Vertical Case is a rare and exceptional box set that brings together six great vintages that have made their mark on the history of this iconic Tuscan reference.
