The Antinori family has been involved in wine production for more than 600 years, beginning with Giovanni di Piero Antinori’s admission to the Arte Fiorentina dei Vinattieri in 1385. This tradition, spanning 26 generations, has always been managed directly by the family, characterised by innovative decisions whilst maintaining a deep respect for tradition and heritage.

Marchesi Antinori Solaia is an exclusive blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc, the grapes for which thrive on limestone soils. Right from the hand-harvesting stage, the utmost care was taken to select perfect grapes in order to ensure the quality of the wine. Fermentation of all three grape varieties took place at controlled temperatures between 27° and a maximum of 31°, to preserve the freshness, aroma and character of the fruit.

Following alcoholic fermentation and the racking of the must, the individual wines were transferred to new oak barriques, where they were initially allowed to develop separately. This was followed by blending, followed by a maturation period of around 12 months in the barriques. Following this meticulous ageing process, the Solaia is bottled and sealed with a natural cork.

With an impressive ageing potential until 2036, the Solaia offers an elegant tasting experience characterised by depth, finesse and exceptional quality.

Tasting Note

A deep ruby-garnet colour in the glass. On the nose, intensely fruity with notes of dark fruit, accompanied by hints of spice. On the palate, complex and well-structured, with notes of blackcurrant, cloves, mint and tobacco. The flavour is accompanied by gentle tannins. A long-lasting finish.

An excellent accompaniment to grilled poultry and roast beef.
