MarchesiAntinori,Solaia,2021

Outstanding Solaia!

“A deep, dense red, imbued with flavours of blackberry, pomegranate, plum and sweet spices. Iron, tobacco and wild herb elements shine through, while this plays out under a strong grip of tannins on the finish. It already shows excellent balance and length now, but this should improve with a few more years in the bottle. Outstanding“-Wine Spectator

STORY BEHIND THE WINE

Part of the Antinori Estate, Solaia was created as an experiment in 1978 when the Chianti Classico vineyards for the illustrious Tignanello – Solaia’s sister wine – produced an excess of Cabernet grapes. Marchesi Antinori decided to make a virtue out of necessity and used the additional grapes to produce 3,600 bottles of a wine that became known as Solaia. Today, Solaia is considered to be one of Italy’s finest wine.
