There can be no more iconic name in the Tuscan wine world than that of Antinori: the family has been involved in the production of wine for more than six centuries spanning twenty-six generations. Today the firm is run by Marquis Piero Antinori with the support of his three daugthers, Albiera, Allegra, and Alessia, all directly involved in the work of the house. They are today one of the biggest wine companies in Italy, and their innovations played a large part in the “Super-Tuscan” revolution of the 1970s. Solaia, one of the earliest of those Super-Tuscans, debuted in 1979; originally a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, it is today a blend of those two grapes plus Sangiovese. The 2011 is intensely ruby red and expresses rich, warm aromas. On the palate, the ripe red fruit and spices, in addition to deep floral notes, define the wine's complex structure. The palate is succulent, rich, enveloping and sweet thanks to the presence of dense, supple, rounded tannins. The vibrant acidity contributes to the excellent expressiveness of the flavors and contributes to the highly pleasurable, long and persistent finish.
