This wine has a deep ruby red color. Impressive on the nose with its aromatic complexity and finesse: notes of small red fruits, notably raspberries and blackberries, lead to sweet sensations of ripe apricots and red oranges accompanied by light floral notes of roses. Distinct aromas of coffee beans, chocolate and licorice are perfectly integrated and are accompanied by fresh impressions of mint and white pepper that give its generous bouquet a pleasant delicate spicy note.

The palate is enveloping, harmonious with an excellent and well-balanced structure. Rich and bright tannins contribute to its dense and captivating character. The finish is exceptionally long and pleasant with a lingering aftertaste that echoes the toasty and spicy notes perceived on the nose.

Description

Solaia is a vineyard of about 10 hectares at 350 to 400 meters above sea level on rocky limestone terrain near the Tignanello property (facing south-west). Marchesi Antinori produced this wine for the first time in 1978; the original blend, revived in 1979, was 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc. In subsequent years 20% Sangiovese was added and some corrections were made to the Cabernet Sauvignon-Cabernet Franc ratio until the current composition was achieved. Solaia is only made in exceptional years, and was not produced in 1980, 1981, 1983, 1984 and 1992.
