Golden. Luscious. A Roman grape reborn.
Solina is a rare gem: a late-harvest Bellone, made from grapes left to slowly ripen under the autumn sun. The result is a naturally sweet wine that’s rich in flavour yet beautifully balanced by freshness. With honeyed stone fruit, floral lift, and a soft mineral finish, Solina is perfect for those who enjoy dessert wines that are elegant rather than cloying.
This is a modern take on an ancient grape — Bellone has grown in Lazio since Roman times — and it shines especially well with Irish cheeses, fruit desserts, or quiet contemplation.
Why we love it:
Solina is sunshine in a glass. For those in Ireland who crave something golden and a little indulgent, this late-harvest Bellone is a soulful choice — sweet, yes, but never heavy.
