Why we like it
Altitude, which ranges from 550 to 580 metres, and a rocky soil are the key elements of il Solatio, from which a fine Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is made. The crystal-clear class of this wine resides in its elegant aromas enhanced by rarefied spicy sensations, in its fine tannins and its neat taste, so much to qualify as the clearest expression of this vine.
