It is created from a meticulous blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc, with the grapes vinified in separate batches to preserve their integrity and precise aromatic definition. Maceration in \u003cstrong\u003etruncated conical tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e precedes malolactic fermentation and a lengthy maturation in wood. On the palate, it offers a creamy entry, enhanced by marked freshness and a \u003cstrong\u003esilky tannic texture\u003c\/strong\u003e, leading to a long and profound finish. This \u003cstrong\u003ecomplex sensory profile\u003c\/strong\u003e is expressed through notes of blackberry, cherry, chocolate and vanilla.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the \u003cstrong\u003eTenuta Tignanello\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the heart of Chianti Classico, between the valleys of the Greve and Pesa rivers. The vineyards, facing south-west at altitudes between 350 and 400 metres, are set on \u003cstrong\u003ePliocene soils\u003c\/strong\u003e rich in marine fossils, where alberese and galestro mix with clay. The vines benefit from warm days and cool nights, enjoying \u003cstrong\u003eoptimal temperature variations\u003c\/strong\u003e for perfect fruit ripening. This specific territorial context gives the wine a compact structure, supporting its vibrant intensity and profound expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter a meticulous \u003cstrong\u003emanual selection\u003c\/strong\u003e of the berries, the destemmed grapes undergo gentle crushing. The must reaches the truncated conical tanks by gravity, where fermentation and maceration on the skins take place at controlled temperatures in separate batches, optimising extraction. Once racking is complete, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and begins \u003cstrong\u003eageing in new\u003c\/strong\u003e French oak barrels for about eighteen months. At the end of this process, the different parcels are blended into the final blend, achieving \u003cstrong\u003edefinitive structural harmony\u003c\/strong\u003e before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1978 at the Tignanello Estate of the Marchesi Antinori, \u003cstrong\u003eSolaia 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e stands as a true icon of the Italian wine renaissance.
