2019

Solaia

Rosso di Toscana IGT

Tenuta Tignanello

Solaia ist der Spitzenwein der Marchesi Antinori und wächst auf dem besten Terroir der legendären Tenuta Tignanello. Der schon in seiner frühsten Jugend faszinierende 2019er Solaia ist ein noch schlafender Riese. Er zeigt sich komplex und aktuell noch etwas verschlossen, aber die Tannine sind reif und nicht ermüdend - der Wein wird sich großartig entwickeln! Solaia ist der Assemblage nach ein Supertuscan, denn er wird aus Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc und immerhin 20 % Sangiovese hergestellt, aber er kommt mit der Eleganz eines exzellenten Weins aus dem Chianti auf die Zunge. Das ist groß und verdient bei James Suckling - und auch bei uns - 98 Punkte. Alle Liebhaber von Fine Wine aus Italien werden am Solaia 2019 nicht vorbeikommen. Sichern Sie sich einige Flaschen dieses äußerst raren Weines, solange dieser verfügbar ist.

»The Marchesi Antinori 2019 Solaia is another blockbuster success from Tuscany's leading wine estate. The blend sees a slightly higher percentage of Cabernet Franc and a slightly lower percentage of Sangiovese. The current mix is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Franc (which has been creeping up in recent years, especially as the climate changes). The soils at the Solaia vineyard are rich in Galestro rock, which is an especially happy pairing with Cabernet Franc in particular. Managing Director Renzo Cotarella tells me that that a vintage like 2019 is proof that the final character of a wine comes from its surrounding territory, not from the blend. This is a generous and extremely expressive edition with lots of dark fruit, spice and sweet tobacco. The tannins are beautifully velvety and soft. This is a beautiful wine that collectors will love.« - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
 
»This has a complex array of blackberries, black cherries, cocoa, dried herbs, slate, tobacco, olives and charred bark. Some dried roses and iodine, too. Medium-to full-bodied with firm yet refined tannins. Powerful, in an understated way. Long. 73% cabernet sauvignon, 7% cabernet franc and 20% sangiovese. Try in 2025.« - James Suckling

»The 2019 Solaia is fabulous. Deep and exquisitely layered, the 2019 is so expressive right out of the gate. Succulent dark cherry, plum, licorice, incense, pipe tobacco, chocolate and grilled herbs all take shape. Here, too, the aromatics are alluring. Cabernet Franc is bumped up a bit in the blend, and that works so well here. Solaia is often a bombastic, intense wine. The 2019 is incredibly refined and buttoned up. Readers will have to be patient. The 2019 Solaia is the sort of wine I would like to spend a whole evening with. Aging was 18 months in 100% new French oak.« - Vinous
