The sunniest part of the Tignanello slope is home to the Solaia vineyard. The very best grapes from the very best vineyard. Everything else is passion, extreme care and research. These are the secrets of Solaia, together with the best Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese grapes from the vineyard of the same name. The Marchesi Antinori Solaia is another blockbuster from Tuscany's leading wine estate. The blend has a slightly higher percentage of Cabernet Franc and a slightly lower percentage of Sangiovese. The current mix is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Franc (which has been on the rise in recent years, especially as the climate changes). The name Solaia comes from Il Sole, Italian for sun. The vineyards for this top wine from Marchese Antinori cover 10 hectares and are located on the south-west slopes at an altitude of between 350 and 400 metres. The soil is stony with marl. They are located in the area of Santa Cristina - Val di Pesa in the Chianti Classico zone, next to the vineyards of the Tignanello wine. This top of Antinori is only made in the top years
The Solaia is a full ruby red wine with beautiful aromas of black pepper, coffee, chocolate, vanilla, plums and preserved fruit. The taste is soft and completely in balance with the smell, with hints of fruit, liquorice and coffee. The tannins are not overpowering and ensure that the wine has a nice full aftertaste. This is a generous and extremely expressive edition with lots of dark fruit, herbs and sweet tobacco. The tannins are beautifully velvety and soft. This is a beautiful wine that collectors will love.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving
De 2019 Antinori Solaia toont volle robijnkleur met rijke aroma's van donker fruit zoals pruim en ingemaakt fruit, aangevuld met tonen van zwarte peper, koffie, chocolade, vanille, zoethout en zachte, fluweelachtige tannines. Dankzij die geconcentreerde fruitigheid, de zachte tannines en de kruidige, cacaotabaksachtige ondertoon past hij uitstekend bij rundvlees, lam, stevige pasta’s en stoofschotels; gegrild of langzaam gegaard vlees met een licht gerookte korst, een ragù van langzaam gestoofde tomaat en wild, of een kruidige lamsbout versterkt de synergie tussen saus, vlees en wijn en laat zowel de fruitige als de kruidige nuances mooi terugkomen.

The Wine Advocate RP 97 Reviewed by: Monica Larner Release Price: $280 Drink Date: 2024 - 2050 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.

From: Chianti Classico & Neighbors: Looking at the 2020s and 2019s (Jul 2022)
The 2019 Solaia is fabulous. Deep and exquisitely layered, the 2019 is so expressive right out of the gate. Succulent dark cherry, plum, licorice, incense, pipe tobacco, chocolate and grilled herbs all take shape. Here, too, the aromatics are alluring. Cabernet Franc is bumped up a bit in the blend, and that works so well here. Solaia is often a bombastic, intense wine. The 2019 is incredibly refined and buttoned up. Readers will have to be patient. The 2019 Solaia is the sort of wine I would like to spend a whole evening with. Aging was 18 months in 100% new French oak.
- By Antonio Galloni on February 2022
“Two thousand-nineteen was a light Sangiovese year,” Antinori CEO Renzo Cotarella explained. “In Chianti Classico, it was mostly a cool year with some rain at the tail end of the season. As a result, we used more Cabernet Sauvignon than normal for Tignanello and bumped up the Franc in Solaia.” Antinori is another winery that has moved away from the high-octane approach of years past. Today’s wines offer plenty of depth, but greater vibrancy as well, something that works so well here, at the Antinori family’s Tignanello estate, home to both Tignanello and Solaia.

More information about Antinori
Marquis Piero Antinori is in charge and is assisted by his three daughters: Albiera, Allegra and Alessia. Funny those three A's. We are not going to bother you with all the awards that have been received over the years, because then this price list can no longer go through the letterbox. There are two red wines that are available on allocation and that one would like to get a few bottles from all over the world and that are Tignanello and Solaia and we also have these in our range at Grandcruwijnen.
In 1180, Ugo and Antinori di Rinuccino were officially named as owners of Castello di Combiate; a century later, the family who had moved to Florence were included in the register of the silk trade cooperative. In 1385, Giovanni di Piero, an indirect descendant, entered the wine guild as an apprentice. Since then, the wine-growing tradition of the Antinori family has been continuous. With the establishment of the Marchesi Antinori winery, the peak was reached in 1895 and already in 1898 the winery was built in San Casciano Val di Pesa, which is still the center of the widely branched group of properties in all major cultivation areas of Tuscany, Umbria. , Piemonte (since the early 90s through the purchase of the wine cellar Prunotto), Apulia and even California. The traditional house participating in the modern Tuscan wine-growing revolution owes much of its prestige to its former chief vinologist Giacomo Tachis, who produced exceptional wines such as Sassicaia, Tignanello (especially sangiovese), Solaia (especially cabernet) and many others. the other was responsible. Vinologist Renzo Cotarella also created one of the best chardonnays in Italy in the Umbrian Castello della Sala.
