Giannikos Winery - Sei Solo

Sei Solo is the personal project of Javier Zaccagnini, former chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Ribera del Duero between 1992 and 1998. In 1999, together with Mariano Garcia, he founded the famous house Aalto which is now regarded as one of the world's top houses. Javier starts this new project in 2007. The Sei Solo will be exclusively wines with grapes from Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) with vines between 60 and 90 years old. The old vineyard, exclusively 'tino fino' is located in the small village of La Horra, in the heart of the famous Ribera del Duero region. La Horra is known for its wealth of unique old vineyards, also eg Pingus, the exclusive cult wine of Peter Sisseck comes from here. Javier has been making top wine there for several years, but only wanted to release them under his private label 'Sei Solo' as soon as the wines meet his high standards. In recent years, the bit of fruit has been sold to Aalto and it went entirely into the top cuvée 'PS', because Javier was not yet satisfied. Now the time has finally come! 2011 is the first official release of Sei Solo with a 'second wine' called Preludio. Javier Zaccagnini is besides a great wine lover also fond of classical music. His absolute favorite is Johan Sebastian Bach. As a tribute he gives this exclusive wine the name 'Solo Sei', after the exceptional work of JS Bach. Sei Solo is a cycle of six violin works. It consists of three sonatas and three partitas. The label of Sei Solo is in the handwriting of his master JS Bach.
