$1388.00 price per bottle
The Antinori family, one of the most historic names in Italian wine with a lineage tracing back to 1385, owns Tenuta Tignanello in the heart of Chianti Classico. Within this estate lies the celebrated Solaia vineyard, a southwest-facing slope known for producing powerful, elegant wines. First released in 1978, 'Solaia' is crafted only in exceptional vintages and reflects the family's commitment to innovation and excellence. Solaia 2017 is composed of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese, and 8% Cabernet Franc. Deep ruby in colour, it opens with rich aromas of blackberries, currants, and dark cherries, layered with balsamic hints of mint and myrtle. Subtle notes of white pepper, cocoa, and toasted spice enhance its aromatic complexity. The palate is full-bodied and refined, with velvety tannins and great depth. The long finish echoes with dark fruit and savoury spice, showcasing the wine’s balance and elegance. Accolades James Suckling – 97 points Wine Enthusiast – 96 points Decanter – 97 points Food Pairing An ideal match for grilled ribeye steak, wild boar ragu with pappardelle, or aged pecorino cheese. This pairing highlights the wine’s depth and character. Vintage Quality The 2017 growing season in Tuscany was marked by warmth and low yields. Despite the challenges, expert vineyard management and precise winemaking produced a wine of remarkable intensity, structure, and finesse.
