Marchesi Antinori Solaia 2020 3L Double Magnum

Marchesi Antinori Solaia 2020 is an exceptional, full-bodied Super Tuscan sourced from the famed 20-hectare southwest-facing Solaia vineyard on the Tenuta Tignanello estate in the heart of Chianti Classico. Displaying an intense, deep ruby red color, it opens with a complex and expressive bouquet of wild blueberries, ripe raspberries, dark plum, and cassis, interwoven with delicate nuances of fresh mint, dried herbs, dark cocoa, and sweet spices. On the palate, it exhibits extraordinary power and seamless refinement, delivering rich layers of vibrant dark berry fruit supported by taut, velvety tannins and balanced acidity that carries through to an extraordinarily long, sophisticated, and mineral-tinged finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs magnificently with Bistecca alla Fiorentina, roasted venison loin, braised beef short ribs, wild boar ragù, or well-aged Pecorino Toscano cheese.

98 Points - James Suckling

Subtle and beautiful on the nose with currants, flowers and light sage aromas that follow through to a full body with ultra-fine tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Extremely polished and poised.

97 Points - Wine Spectator

Dripping with black currant, blackberry, black cherry, iron and toasty oak flavors, this red is suave and polished. Features flashes of tobacco and wild herbs that add even more detail as this builds to a long, kaleidoscopic finish. Presents civilized tannins that are well-integrated and provide structure. Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc.

97 Points - Wine Enthusiast

A torrent of blackberries, blueberries and currants jump off the nose before giving way to soil and wild fennel. On the palate berries remain as exuberant as they were on the nose, equally balanced by wild herbs and pepper, with a spicy heat that feels like the peel of an orange set on fire over a glass of amaro. Tannins are taut and smooth and give the sensation of actually being able to bite into the wine.

96 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Inky dark in appearance, the 2020 Solaia is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller percentages of Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese. This vintage unfolds to exuberant richness and thick layers of blackberry and plum. The tannins are sweet and expertly crafted, adding both depth and fruit weight. The 2020 vintage is quite bold, and it plays its best cards in terms of texture and mouthfeel. It’s a bigger, more accessible wine compared to the last two vintages on the market. Spice, toasted coffee bean and more dark fruit color this full-bodied Tuscan red.
