Signature wines of Tuscany

The iconic bottles that define Tuscany.

Sassicaia

Producer: Tenuta San Guido

The founding Super Tuscan. Bordeaux cuttings planted at Bolgheri in 1944 by Mario Incisa della Rocchetta; granted its own single-estate DOC in 1994.

Price: EUR 250 to 500 at retail

Tignanello

Producer: Marchesi Antinori

The Super Tuscan that broke Chianti Classico DOCG rules in 1971 by blending Sangiovese with Cabernet and ageing in French barrique. Still a global benchmark.

Price: EUR 100 to 160 at retail

Solaia

Producer: Marchesi Antinori

Cabernet-led counterpart to Tignanello, from the same Tenuta Tignanello hillside. The 1997 vintage was the first Italian wine ever named Wine Spectator's Wine of the Year (2000, 98 points).

Price: EUR 280 to 450 at retail

Ornellaia

Producer: Tenuta Dell Ornellaia

Lodovico Antinori's Bolgheri Superiore DOC Bordeaux-blend flagship, founded 1981 and now owned by Frescobaldi. A coastal-Tuscan benchmark for the Bordeaux idiom.

Price: EUR 200 to 350 at retail

Masseto

Producer: Masseto

Single-vineyard 100% Merlot from a 7-hectare blue-clay parcel inside the Ornellaia estate (first released as a separate label 1986), with its own dedicated cellar since 2020.

Price: EUR 1000 to 2500 at retail

Tuscany wine, FAQ

When is the best time to visit Tuscany for wine?

Peak wine-travel season in Tuscany is spring through autumn, with harvest the standout window.

Do I need an appointment to taste at Tuscany estates?

classified-growth and grand-cru estates require booking days to weeks ahead; smaller family domaines often take walk-ins midweek.

What hours do Tuscany cellars and tasting rooms keep?

most estates open 10:00 to 17:00 by appointment, often closed Sunday and Monday.

How does tipping work at Tuscany tastings?

tipping is not expected at tastings; buying a bottle from the cellar door is the customary thank-you.

What is the one wine to try in Tuscany?

If you only open one bottle, open Sassicaia by tenuta-san-guido. It is the wine most associated with Tuscany.
