Maserati and Antinori Unite to Craft the GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello
In a fusion of automotive innovation and vinicultural tradition, Maserati has unveiled its 2025 GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello. This all-electric luxury convertible is not just an homage to the half-century legacy of Marchesi Antinori's Tignanello wine but also a celebration of Italian craftsmanship.
Design Infused with Oenological Elegance
The exterior design of the GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello draws inspiration from the rich hues found within the storied cellars of Tignanello. The bespoke "Terra di Tignanello" paint mirrors the chestnut color of vineyard soil, while coppery burgundy accents nod to the barriques that nurture the vintage reds. Matte black rims paired with gloss black calipers underscore this vehicle’s elegance, complemented by copper-colored emblems that echo the luster of fine wine aged in oak barrels.
The interior continues this narrative, where materials like dark briar wood recall barrel crafting techniques, and innovative Vegea fabric on seats reflects both texture and pattern reminiscent of vine rows interspersed with Albarese stones. These artisanal touches are further enhanced by laser-etched details sharing narratives from Tignanello's creation story.
A Convergence of Performance and Heritage
Beyond aesthetics, the 2025 Maserati GranCabrio Folgore stands as a testament to electric mobility without compromising performance or comfort. With an 800V battery system informed by Formula E technology, it promises exhilarating acceleration and driving dynamics befitting its prestigious lineage.

Practicality isn't sacrificed either; four true seats underpin versatility while innovations such as neck warmers for cooler drives and wind stoppers ensure passenger comfort remains paramount even when traveling top-down.
Celebratory Collaboration
This limited edition model encapsulates more than just technological prowess—it represents a shared ethos between two iconic Italian houses: Maserati's pioneering spirit in motoring aligning seamlessly with Marchesi Antinori's relentless pursuit of oenological excellence. It’s no surprise then that Klaus Busse hails this collaboration as embodying bespoke production at its finest—a sentiment echoed by Piero Antinori who takes pride in their family being part of such an initiative.
An Auction for Artistry and Altruism
As if crafted straight from vintner dreams, this special iteration will go beyond gracing roads; it is set to be auctioned at Festival Napa Valley’s Arts for All Gala come July 14th. Proceeds from this exclusive event will contribute towards charitable causes—blending philanthropy with passion for automobiles and viticulture alike.
Vintage Meets Voltage
The unveiling of the 2025 Maserati GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello marks a momentous occasion where past meets present—and future—in harmonious synchronicity. As we await further details on specifications including price points, horsepower metrics, torque figures, acceleration times, and top speeds—we can only anticipate how well these numbers will translate into tangible experiences behind the wheel. For now, admirers can revel in what appears to be another chapter in Italy's long-standing romance with style, speed, and sophistication—all wrapped up in one electrifying package.
