Marchesi Antinori Solaia 2022 IMP

Marchesi Antinori Solaia is one of Tuscany’s most celebrated Super Tuscans, admired for its poise, depth, and unmistakable elegance. In the 2022 vintage, the blend is led by Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese adding lift, structure, and a distinctly Italian edge. Sourced from a historic Antinori estate and offered here in a generous 6L format, it combines prestige with remarkable cellar presence.

Tasting Notes
Solaia 2022 shows a deep, polished ruby colour and a wonderfully refined aromatic profile. The nose opens with blackberry, dark plum, and ripe blackcurrant, layered with subtle spice, cedar, graphite, and a touch of floral lift that hints at its Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese components. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet impeccably balanced, with silky, chalky tannins and a seamless flow of fruit across the mouth. Rich dark berry flavours are supported by freshness and finesse rather than heaviness, giving the wine a long, graceful finish. While already very alluring, it has the structure and pedigree to develop beautifully over many years.

Production
Solaia is produced in Tuscany from Antinori’s premier vineyards, where warm days, cooling nights, and well-drained soils help create fruit with both ripeness and precision. The blend is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller portions of Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese chosen to fine-tune the wine’s structure, aromatic complexity, and sense of place. The grapes are harvested with strict selection to ensure only the best fruit is used, and vinification is carried out with careful attention to preserving purity and balance. The result is a wine known for its effortless quality and its ability to express power without losing elegance.

Food & Serving
This is a superb wine for fine dining, especially with grilled or roasted beef, lamb, venison, truffle dishes, or aged hard cheeses. It also works beautifully with rich Tuscan-inspired cuisine such as bistecca alla fiorentina or slow-cooked game ragù. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for at least 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromatics and tannins to open fully.
