". . . this is certainly a much deeper colour than the Tignanello 1995. A very intense nose of black truffles, more savoury notes of bacon fat and pain grillĂ© â the Cabernet Franc seems quite pronounced. The palate is full-bodied sinewy and masculine. Red cherry, cedar, espresso and blackberry: this tannic, perhaps conservative Solaia will demand another decade before it reaches its plateau of maturity."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
The heartland of Sangiovese, producing Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and the Cabernet-influenced 'Super Tuscans' of the coast. Its wines balance bright acidity, savory structure and cellar-worthiness.
