Why We're Buying
It’s almost impossible to over-hype Antinori “Solaia” Toscana. Fruit, espresso, licorice, and spice combine to form a deeply beautiful and transcendent red wine. Solaia is the rare wine worthy of the word “perfect,” evidence being multiple 100-point ratings.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Marchesi Antinori 2019 Solaia is another blockbuster success from Tuscany's leading wine estate. The blend sees a slightly higher percentage of Cabernet Franc and a slightly lower percentage of Sangiovese. The current mix is 75 Cabernet Sauvignon 15 Sangiovese and 10 Cabernet Franc (which has been creeping up in recent years especially as the climate changes). The soils at the Solaia vineyard are rich in Galestro rock which is an especially happy pairing with Cabernet Franc in particular. Managing Director Renzo Cotarella tells me that that a vintage like 2019 is proof that the final character of a wine comes from its surrounding territory not from the blend. This is a generous and extremely expressive edition with lots of dark fruit spice and sweet tobacco. The tannins are beautifully velvety and soft. This is a beautiful wine that collectors will love.
