Marchesi Antinori's Solaia is a 50-acre vineyard with a southwestern exposure located at an altitude between 1150 and 1325 feet above sea level. The soil is a stony mix of 'alberese' (hard limestone) and 'galestro' (flaky calcareous clay) rock. This wine is a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a bit of Cabernet Franc, thriving in the sun-soaked rolling hills of Chianti Classico. The estate, Tenuta Tignanello, covers around 130 hectares of vineyards, including the land from where grapes for the two signature wines – Tignanello and Solaia – are derived. Solaia was the first Italian wine to be named the 'world's number 1 wine' by Wine Spectator in 1997. The wine is available in 75cl bottles, making it a perfect addition to any wine collection.
