Product Notes

The Antinori Tenuta Tignanello Solaia is an exquisite Italian wine of unparalleled sophistication. Sourced from the esteemed Tignanello vineyard in Tuscany, it boasts a remarkable intensity of flavour, with tantalising notes of ripe fruits, currants, and spice, all perfectly balanced on the palate. This full-bodied wine has a deep, attracting crimson hue and an enduring finish, all wrapped up in a velvety texture. Its complexity and fine-grain tannins deliver a tasteful journey, making it a premier choice for opulent gatherings. Every sip of Solaia is testament to Antinori's dedication to crafting wine of remarkable quality.

Tasting Notes

A very intense ruby red in color, the wine offers aromas rich in their concentration of red and black fruit (cherries and black cherries, raspberries, cassis, blueberries, and wild berry fruit) which, together with notes of vanilla, black pepper, and liquorice, compose a bouquet which is decisively ample and complex. The palate is exceptionally elegant and balanced, fresh in its flavors and with much personality, solid and silky in its texture and tannins. The finish, characterized by notes of fruit and spices, is of great finesse and persistence.
