Antinori Solaia 2023

Antinori Solaia 2023 is a Tuscan red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc, made at the Tignanello estate in the heart of Chianti Classico. First created in 1978, Solaia became one of the wines associated with Italy’s Super Tuscan renaissance, combining local Sangiovese character with the structure of Cabernet varieties.

Tasting Notes
The wine is described as showing expressive notes of blackberry and cherry, layered with chocolate and vanilla. On the palate, a creamy opening is balanced by lively freshness and silk-textured tannins, leading into a deep, lingering finish. Its structure and concentration suggest potential for further development in bottle. For the best drinking window, follow guidance from the producer or a trusted vintage-specific source.

Production
The grapes come from south-west-facing vineyards at Tenuta Tignanello, around 350–400 metres above sea level. Pliocene soils combine marine fossils with alberese, galestro and clay, while warm days and cool nights help the fruit ripen while retaining freshness. Grapes are hand-sorted, gently destemmed and moved by gravity to truncated-cone tanks; fermentation and skin maceration take place in separate, temperature-controlled batches. After malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for around 18 months in new French oak, before the lots are blended.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C with grilled or roasted red meat, herb-crusted lamb, or aged hard cheeses. Decant for about one to two hours before serving to give the wine time to open, adjusting the time to taste.

Producer
Marchesi Antinori is a historic Tuscan wine family whose Solaia is produced at Tenuta Tignanello. Created in 1978, the wine has become a benchmark Super Tuscan, known for bringing Sangiovese together with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Solaia is made only in vintages considered suitable by the producer.
