About the Marchesi Antinori Solaia 2022
Marchesi Antinori Solaia 2022 is a monumental and deeply expressive Super Tuscan icon, crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon (80%) alongside smaller parts Cabernet Franc (10%) and Sangiovese (10%). Sourced from the sun-drenched, rocky limestone soils of the legendary Solaia vineyard, this vintage showcases remarkable restraint and energy despite a warm growing season. It pours a dense ruby red with bright purple reflections, opening with a refined bouquet of black currants, wild blueberries, and fresh figs, seamlessly integrated with complex notes of graphite, lavender, sweet tobacco, and Gianduja chocolate. The palate entry is incredibly creamy and rich yet sustained by an unexpected, vibrant vein of freshness. Silky, fine-grained tannins build a tight-knit texture, leading into a highly polished, expansive finish of exceptional depth and longevity.
Food Pairing: High-end culinary dishes such as roasted rack of lamb with rosemary, prime dry-aged Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragù over fresh pappardelle, roasted squab, or well-aged Pecorino Toscano cheese.
More elegant than powerful and more approachable than usual, with stunning concentration and complexity. Aromas of subtle cassis, toast, herbs and a refreshing balsamic touch. Firm on the palate, with a full body, velvety texture and moderate acidity but not at the expense of its great balance. Sleek, polished aftertaste with sweet tobacco flavors. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This is a classy and very elegant expression. The Marchesi Antinori 2022 Solaia is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller parts Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese. The tannins are beautiful in this wine, very well managed with silky and chalky results. The wine unfolds beautifully over the palate, offering generous richness and seamless fruit flavors that range from blackberry to tart plum. There is never a formula for making this wine, but the best vintages of Solaia show that seamless quality that is a hallmark. You get that here in what is perhaps more accessible packaging. Some 20% of production is sold on the Place de Bordeaux.
