ABOUT THE WINE
Solaia is a 50-acre vineyard located at the Tignanello estate. The Antinori family produced this wine for the first time in the year 1978. The family itself has been involved in the production of wine in Tuscany since 1385, when Giovanni di Piero Antinori became a member of the Arte Florentina, the Winemakers Guild of Florence. Today the winery is run by Marquis Piero Antinori, with the support of his three daughters Albiera, Allegra and Alessia.
TASTING NOTES
The 2015 Solaia shows an intense ruby red color with purple highlights. The nose offers powerful notes of plum jam and ripe black fruit like blackberries, blueberries, and cassis. The perfectly integrated sensations of chocolate and liquorice give way on the finish to hints of mint which offer freshness to the bouquet. The wine is harmonious on the palate with an excellent and balanced structure; the suppleness and silkiness of the tannins give it solidity, elegance, and an extremely long finish and a very long and lingering aftertaste.
FOOD PAIRING
Red meat, goose or veal; complex stews and aged hard cheese.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
A classic, with marvellous finesse and refinement, from an excellent vintage. The 2015 is to be considered as among the finest of all for its ideal climatic conditions in every phase of the growing season.
