Subtle and beautiful on the nose with currants, flowers and light sage aromas that follow through to a full body with ultra-fine tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Extremely polished and poised. Classy. Best after 2028.

Inky dark in appearance, the 2020 Solaia is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller percentages of Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese. This vintage unfolds to exuberant richness and thick layers of blackberry and plum. The tannins are sweet and expertly crafted, adding both depth and fruit weight. The 2020 vintage is quite bold, and it plays its best cards in terms of texture and mouthfeel. It’s a bigger, more accessible wine compared to the last two vintages on the market. Spice, toasted coffee bean and more dark fruit color this full-bodied Tuscan red.

The deep comprehension of the terroir exhibited by Solaia is truly admirable. It’s as if every grape variety, upon entering its kingdom, naturally embodies the elegance of Solaia – a kind of sophistication bathed in the essence of the Italian Renaissance, showcasing both liveliness and delicate refinement. Each juicy sour plum and jujube exudes such fullness that, with a single bite, bursts with succulent, sweet-tart flavors. The subtle hints of pine and the delicate fragrance of red roses interweave to create a scene of refreshing, ethereal beauty; upon reflection, it emanates the cultured allure of literary connoisseurs. This skillful narrative approach deeply resonates with me, and I enthusiastically recommend it to those who share an appreciation for the essence of Tuscany.
