Antinori Solaia IGT CL 75 2018 Wooden Case Wine

Solaia 2018 displays a deep ruby ​​red color. On the nose, intense notes of ripe dark fruit, particularly blueberry and blackcurrant, blend with pleasant hints of dried flowers and lavender, accompanied by delicate spicy notes of white pepper and balsamic notes of mint and eucalyptus. The rich bouquet is rounded out by sweet and well-integrated aromas of white chocolate, cotton candy, and dried fruit. On the palate, it is enveloping and creamy: the soft, silky tannins provide a long, persistent, and highly elegant finish, with an aftertaste reminiscent of licorice and echoing the floral and spicy notes perceived on the nose.

Tenuta Tignanello is located in the heart of Chianti Classico, on the rolling hills between the Greve and Pesa valleys. It extends over 319 hectares of land, with approximately 130 hectares of vineyards. Among its vineyards are two treasures: the Tignanello and Solaia vineyards, which extend across the same hillside on soils derived from Pliocene marine marl with limestone and schist. They enjoy warm days and cool nights during the growing season.

The vineyards of the same name produce Solaia and Tignanello, which have been described by the international press as "among the most influential wines in the history of Italian winemaking." According to Marchesi Antinori, they represent a constant challenge and a never-ending passion.
The Tenuta Tignanello vineyards are mainly composed of the native Sangiovese and non-traditional varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
