Marchesi Antinori Solaia 1997
The immortal myth. The vintage that put Italy at the top of the world: a majestic, opulent, and velvety red, releasing a tertiary complexity of supreme elegance.
Marchesi Antinori Solaia 1997
Majesty and velvet. The 1997 presents itself today with an evolved and infinite bouquet: notes of plum jam, menthol, and dark chocolate intertwine with noble hints of leather, sweet tobacco, and forest floor. On the palate, it is dense, still incredibly intact, with tannins fused like silk and a finish that persists for minutes with an almost moving nobility.
