La Cassuccia is a single vineyard wine produced only in the very best years. The La Casuccia vineyard anchored in calcareous clay, comprises 12.58 hectares, at an elevation ranging from 480 metres to 526. A blend of Sangiovese with a small portion of Merlot, the wine undergoes a warm fermentation with regular pump overs and a lengthy maceration of 26 days. Following assemblage, the wine is matured in a mix of new and one year old French oak. A slightly more fruit-forward modern style, La Casuccia shows upfront red berry fruit, and a firm backbone of fine polished tannins.

Product Description: Legendary Super Tuscan power shaped by precision and terroir. Marchesi Antinori’s Solaia 2017 is a benchmark blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese grown on the famed Solaia vineyard at Tenuta Tignanello. Crafted only in exceptional years, this is a wine with international pedigree, combining structure, elegance and depth—and the 2017 vintage is no exception. Grapes were harvested late September to early October after a hot, dry summer followed by rain that tempered vine stress. Hand-sorted and gravity-fed into truncated cone fermentation tanks, vinification emphasised gentle extraction of ripe fruit balanced with fine tannins. Aging took place over 18 months in new French oak, with barrels kept separately before blending to allow full integration. The result is rich yet nuanced: dark fruit intensity meets lifted mint and balsamic notes, interwoven with spice and cocoa. The tannins are smooth and polished, the structure seamless. This is Solaia at its expressive best. Tasting Notes NOSE – Deep and aromatic Blackberry, black currant, fresh mint and myrtle with pepper, cinnamon and cocoa powder. PALATE – Velvet and layered Juicy dark fruit followed by toast and spice, framed by vibrant, refined tannins. FINISH – Long and elegant Sustained length with integrated oak, spice and cool mineral lift.
