Tasting Notes

Antinori Solaia 2023 represents the pinnacle of Tuscan winemaking, combining the elegance and vibrant acidity of Sangiovese with the structure, depth and intensity of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Produced only in the finest vintages and released in rare, limited quantities, Solaia is one of Italy’s most celebrated Super Tuscan wines.

First created by the Antinori family in 1978, Solaia originally featured Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Sangiovese was introduced in subsequent years, with the blend refined over time to achieve the wine’s distinctive balance, concentration and longevity. This prestigious red is crafted in Tuscany, a region renowned for its historic vineyards, Mediterranean climate and exceptional expressions of Sangiovese and international grape varieties.

The 2023 vintage showcases a refined, cellar-worthy expression with impressive concentration and layered complexity. Aromas and flavours of dark fruit, cassis, spice and subtle oak unfold across the palate, supported by finely integrated tannins and vibrant acidity. Elegant yet powerful, Solaia 2023 offers the depth, polish and structure associated with a world-class Italian Super Tuscan wine.

Critic Scores

98Decanter

Solaia sings in 2023. It's supremely vertical with already-integrated sandy tannins, its tall frame adorned with crunchy, sapid forest berries, chocolate, menthol, iodine and floral top notes. Generous and finessed, it's drinking surprisingly well at this early stage and will continue to prosper for the next two decades at least. - James Button

97James Suckling

A big Solaia with lots of fruit and spices as well as mint and spearmint. Aromatic. Full-bodied with lots of fruit and chewy tannins. Muscular and juicy for a modern Solaia. Needs three to four years of age to come together. Best after 2028. - James Suckling

96Vinous

The 2023 Solaia offers up hints of blackberry, gravel, incense, dried herbs, mocha, tobacco, espresso and sweet French oak. There's a bit of youthful firmness in the tannin that needs time to soften, but that should not be an issue for long. Cabernet Sauvignon speaks with tremendous eloquence as hints of grilled herbs, tobacco, incense, leather and gravel stain the incisive finish. There's a lot of wine here. - Antonio Galloni

95Wine Spectator

A sheen of new oak wraps around flavors of black cherry, blackberry, plum, mineral and vanilla. There’s fine depth, a supple texture and dense, well-rounded tannins for support. Beautifully balanced and long; give this three to five years to shed its youthful exuberance. Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2029 through 2047. - Bruce Sanderson

About this Wine

Tuscany

Tuscany is the oldest wine region in Italy, with a long history dating back over 2700 years. The region is on the Western coast of Italy, stretching from the coastline of the Tyrrhenian Sea all the way to the Apennine mountains, with the majority of the region being quite hilly.

Contributing to around 6% of Italy's total wine output, Tuscany is the third most planted region, but only the eight biggest producer. Much of this can be attributed to the hilly terroir and poor soils leading to lower yields, but generally higher quality wines. The region produces far more red than white wine, and is responsible for two of the most famous Italian red wines, Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino.

Chianti was first classified in 1716, and the region of Tuscany now has 29 DOC and 7 DOCG classifications. In the 1970s 'Super Tuscan' wines emerged of supreme quality, commanding very high prices. Although they were initially produced outside the DOC or DOCG zones, most of the regions have since been classified, though some producers still opt to use the simpler and less restrictive IGT labelling.

The famous red wine Chianti is based on the the Sangiovese variety, though is most commonly blended with Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon. The blending of multiple grapes is common, even Bordeaux blends can be found. White wines produced include Vermentino, Vernaccia, Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay.
