Depth and precision define the 2016 Antinori Solaia, a tightly woven tapestry of dark berries, plum and espresso layered with subtle spice and a cool, stony edge. The palate is full-bodied yet remarkably poised, its firm, refined tannins and long, focused finish promising a graceful evolution rather than immediate opulence.

Solaia is Antinori’s iconic “Super Tuscan” flagship, a powerful yet polished Cabernet Sauvignon–led blend (with Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese) sourced from a sun‑exposed, rocky, calcareous 20-hectare parcel on the Tignanello estate in Chianti Classico. First produced in 1978 and bottled only in top vintages, it typically shows intense dark fruit, balsamic and spice notes, firm but velvety tannins, and the structure to age gracefully for decades.
