SOLATJO

Private Label

A warm, very sunny, constantly ventilated climate is what these small berries need, for a perfect ripeness of the thick skin, intensely colored grapes.

And when a perfect vintage comes, this combination succeeds, then the wine is born from the vineyard to “solatjo” … ..
In 2006 we planted a small Petit Verdot vineyard, less than 400sqm. At that time, it was the best choice for blending great Super Tuscans. Then, Pieve de’ Pitti wines focused on varietal labels, made of grapes vinified in purity, and we waited for an exceptional vintage to bottle the last of our extravagant vines. The Petit Verdot.

We did it in a somewhat special way. To celebrate the twentieth Pieve de’ Pitti harvest and we have selected the best barriques where Petit Verdot has aged 48 months long.
The Solatjo label is our fifth author label.
The inspiration for the toad, lying in the sun, that’s solatjo, comes from the work “Partirò per Zanzibar V°” by the painter and friend Romano Masoni who drawn the Tribiana bee for us already.

Solatjo comes out after 5 long years of ageing in our cellar, with a special label and for our friends only , with a private back label where you can ask us to write a thought, an inscription to thank and remember special moments and people.

Solatjo 2016 is sold in a single wooden box
