The Antinori Solaia 2005 is a truly exceptional wine from the esteemed Antinori winery in Italy. This vintage, produced in 6000ml, showcases the true artistry and skill of the Antinori family. On the nose, aromas of ripe cherry, blackcurrant, and plum mingle with hints of vanilla, tobacco, and cedar. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with velvety tannins and a smooth, lingering finish. The deep ruby color is a testament to the intensity of flavors and depth of character in this wine. The 2005 vintage was a standout year for Solaia, with ideal growing conditions resulting in a wine that is both powerful and elegant. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, this wine has a well-integrated and complex structure. Highly recommended for collectors and wine enthusiasts, the Antinori Solaia 2005 is a true masterpiece.
Winemakers Notes
Solaia, Tuscany at its best
Tenuta Tignanello estate is in the heart of Chianti Classico, in the gently rolling hillsides between the Greve and Pesa river valleys. It extends over an area of 319 hectares (788 acres), of which 127 (313 acres) are dedicated to vines. The estate’s two signature wines, Solaia and Tignanello, have been defined by the international press as “among the most influential wines in the history of Italian viticulture”. According to Marchesi Antinori, Solaia and Tignanello are an ongoing challenge and a never-ending passion.
The Solaia vineyard extends over an area of approximately 20 hectares (49 acres) at an altitude between 350 and 400 meters above sea level (1148-1312 feet), facing south-west, on calcareous rocky soils. The Antinori family produced this wine for the first time with the 1978 vintage. Solaia is only made in exceptional vintages and was not produced in 1980, 1981, 1983, 1984 and 1992.
