Antinori Solaia 2019

Antinori Solaia 2019 is one of the iconic Super Tuscans and comes from the long-established Antinori winery, which has set standards in Tuscany for centuries. The 2019 vintage presents a compact, complex blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sangiovese that combines power, elegance, and aging potential. The special feature of this wine lies in the outstanding balance between dark fruit, spicy notes, and fine oak, giving Solaia a depth of character that delights year after year. The winery maintains a long aging process, making it a reliable benchmark wine in the region, exhibiting structure in its youth while also gaining complexity with bottle age.

Tasting Note: The bouquet unfolds dark berries, plum, cassis, along with cedarwood, cocoa, and a hint of espresso. On the palate, the wine presents itself concentrated, with velvety tannins, present fruit, and fine spice; the finish is long, clean, and elegant. Optimal drinking maturity is expected to begin in 2025/2026 and will last until the 2030s, with the wine developing even more depth over time. Food pairing suggestion: Grilled ribeye or lamb chops accompanied by mushroom dishes or truffles, as well as mature Parmesan, ideally complement the balance of fruit, structure, and spice of this Solaia.
