About This Wine
The 2021 Solaia from Marchesi Antinori is a masterclass in balance, depth, and finesse—a Super Tuscan that reaffirms its place among Italy’s greatest wines. Sourced from the sun-drenched slopes of the Tenuta Tignanello estate in Chianti Classico, the wine is a blend of roughly 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Sangiovese, and 9% Cabernet Franc. The vintage enjoyed an ideal growing season, marked by steady warmth and long ripening that allowed the grapes to achieve both concentration and freshness. In the glass, Solaia 2021 reveals a deep ruby color and aromas of blackcurrant, plum, violet, and mint, layered with notes of cocoa, licorice, and sweet spice. The palate is powerful yet graceful, with fine-grained tannins and a lingering finish that unfolds in waves of dark fruit and chocolate. Critics have hailed it as one of the finest Solaias to date, with Vinous awarding a perfect 100 points and others not far behind. A wine of precision and poise, it will age beautifully over the next two decades, offering an evolving portrait of Tuscan excellence with every passing year.
