The Marchesi Antinori Solaia: A Super Tuscan Icon

The Solaia vineyard, literally 'the sunniest one,' stands as a testament to the Antinori family's commitment to innovation and terroir in Tuscany. Produced only in exceptional vintages, this Super Tuscan is a world-class wine, often compared to the finest First Growths of Bordeaux. It embodies a perfect harmony between the power of Cabernet Sauvignon and the elegance of Sangiovese, aged meticulously in new French oak.

Tasting Notes (Reference Vintage)

• Appearance: A brilliant, deep ruby hue.
• Aromatics: A beguiling complexity featuring profound dark berries, plum jam, espresso, and licorice, lifted by sweet spice and a hint of cedar.
• Mouthfeel: Velvety and expansive, with a powerful structure defined by micro-fine, silky tannins. It achieves a rare balance of depth and lightness on its feet, culminating in an eternal, satisfying finish. An aristocratic wine for the discerning collector.

Service & Food Pairing

This wine demands respect; decant for several hours before serving at 18°C. It is the definitive 'Sunday Best' wine for a special occasion.
