Palate
On the palate, it is rich, enveloping and harmonious, with an excellent and balanced structure. Vibrant velvety tannins lead to an extremely long, pleasant finish with a lingering aftertaste with hints of mint, licorice and chocolate.
Nose
Exceptional olfactory intensity and complexity: notes of berries, especially blueberries, raspberries and currants that mix with sweet notes of plums, black cherries and fresh impressions of mint, myrtle, licorice and lavender floral nuances. The rich bouquet is complemented by sweet, well-integrated notes of cocoa powder and dried fruits, which follow spicy notes of cloves and pleasant impressions of pink pepper.
Winemaking
Fermented in 6000-liter conical stainless steel tanks and aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months.
Solaia is a 20 hectares vineyard with a southwestern exposure located at an altitude between 350-400 meters above sea level and with a stony soil of “alberese” (hard limestone) and “galestro” (flaky calcareous clay) rock. The vineyard is located at the Tignanello estate. The Antinori family produced this wine for the first time in the year 1978, and the initial blend was 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Cabernet Franc, a formula repeated in 1979 as well. In the following years, 20% of Sangiovese was introduced and certain adjustments were also made in the rapport between Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc until the current blend was settled. Solaia is produced only in exceptional vintages.
