Description
Antinori “Solaia” Toscana Rosso IGT is a legendary Italian wine, produced by one of the most renowned estates in Tuscany. A masterful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Franc, Solaia represents the perfect expression of Tuscany’s terroir, offering a wine that is both powerful and elegant. Each vintage, from 1990 to 2005, 1998, 2001, and 2002, brings its own unique character, yet all share the same exceptional quality and depth.
The deep, dark ruby color of Solaia hints at its intensity. On the nose, the wine reveals complex aromas of blackberries, black cherries, and ripe plums, enriched by elegant notes of tobacco, leather, and spice. The oak aging adds depth, introducing subtle hints of vanilla, cocoa, and dried herbs.
On the palate, Antinori “Solaia” offers a rich and full-bodied experience. The tannins are well-structured, providing a firm backbone to the wine, while the acidity is perfectly balanced, enhancing the fresh fruit flavors. The wine’s finish is long and persistent, with lingering notes of dark fruits and toasted oak, reflecting the mastery of the winemaking process.
Solaia is an ideal wine to pair with rich dishes such as roasted lamb, grilled steaks, and aged cheeses. Its complexity and depth also make it a perfect match for a fine, hearty pasta or even game meats. A collector’s wine, Solaia continues to evolve beautifully with age, offering even more complexity and refinement as it matures.
