IL SALTO DI BUCEFALO

Il Salto di Bucefalo — the Leap of Bucephalus — is the most extraordinary wine in the Tenuta Solar portfolio: a red wine of extraordinary structure and unique intensity that the estate describes as a true masterpiece, and whose ruby colour with garnet streaks captures attention and arouses curiosity before the first sip is taken. It represents the perfect fusion between wine and art — its inspiration coming from a wonderful painting of the same name, its creation the result of passion and attention to detail that is unparalleled in the estate's range.

Bucephalus was the legendary horse of Alexander the Great — an animal of exceptional beauty, power, and character that could be ridden only by Alexander himself, mastered through understanding rather than force. The leap that gives the wine its name is both a visual image from the painting that inspired it and a metaphor for what the wine itself achieves: a moment of extraordinary power and grace combined, a wine that conquers the senses of enthusiasts not through brute force but through the particular combination of structure and elegance that great red wine delivers.

The ruby colour with garnet streaks is an original feature that captures attention and arouses curiosity, anticipating the sip to come with visual drama. In the mouth, the wine delivers on that visual promise with a complexity of character that rewards extended attention — the extraordinary structure and unique intensity that the estate promises without exaggeration.

Il Salto di Bucefalo is a wine for the most considered and most ambitious moments of the Tenuta Solar portfolio — the summit wine that demonstrates what the estate's volcanic Soave Classico terroir can produce when pushed to its most serious ambitions. Available in strictly limited quantities.
