The 2011 Antinori Solaia 1500mL is a stunning representation of Tuscany's finest grapes. Crafted by the renowned Antinori family, this vintage showcases a deep ruby red colour with hints of garnet at the rim. Upon first swirl, the nose is greeted by intense aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, and plums, followed by subtle notes of herbs, vanilla, and oak. On the palate, this full-bodied wine offers a complex and harmonious blend of dark fruit, spices, and well-integrated tannins, leading to a long and elegant finish. The 2011 Solaia is a testament to the exceptional terroir of Italy, with its perfect balance of acidity and structured tannins. This wine is best enjoyed with rich and hearty dishes, and will continue to age gracefully for years to come. A true masterpiece from Antinori.
Winemakers Notes
Solaia is
the greatest wine made by the Antinori Family
, and
one of the absolute best wines of the world
. But Solaia aslo been a defining wine for Italy. It is no overstatement to say that Solaia, together with Sassicaia, has contributed more than any other wine to establishing the fame and reputation of Italy as a land of not only good, but truly great wines.
Tuscany has produced highly concentrated and rich wines in 2011. We have tasted Solaia and indeed the wine appears to be
full-bodied and very powerful, beautifully balanced with tension and freshness
. It has reminded us of the 2001, which is superb to enjoy now.
A great and classical Solaia
according to us.
