The Antinori Solaia 2008 3000ml is a standout wine from the renowned Italian winemaker, Antinori. This vintage, hailing from the Tuscan region, is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Franc, creating a complex and well-balanced wine. On the nose, rich aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, and plums are complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a velvety texture and intense flavors of ripe fruit, tobacco, and a touch of oak. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and lingering finish. Its deep ruby color with purple hues is a visual reflection of its bold and elegant character. This wine is a true masterpiece, embodying the expertise and tradition of Antinori in every sip. Enjoy now or cellar for further aging.
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.
