Solaia 2019 Marchesi Antinori Toscana IGT
Wellicht is zijn broertje Tignanello bekender dan de Grand Vin van Antinori, maar Solaia behoort tot de top 3 van de Super Tuscans, samen met Sassicaia en Ornellaia. Dat Solaia minder bekend is, komt voornamelijk door de geringe productie van Solaia, waardoor deze wijn minder zichtbaar is in restaurants en in kelders. Wat Solaia verder uniek maakt, is dat het uit het hart van Toscane komt én 15-20% Sangiovese in de blend heeft.
De wijn behaalde al enkele keren 100/100 scores bij de critici en is mede hierdoor een felbegeerd item geworden.

"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."

“This has a complex array of blackberries, black cherries, cocoa, dried herbs, slate, tobacco, olives and charred bark. Some dried roses and iodine, too. Medium-to full-bodied with firm yet refined tannins. Powerful, in an understated way. Long. 73% cabernet sauvignon, 7% cabernet franc and 20% sangiovese."
