Marchesi Antinori 2013 Solaia Red (Toscana)

Country: Italy / Solaia
Variety: Red Blend Tuscany
Winery: Marchesi Antinori / Toscana

This blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese and 5% Cabernet Franc opens with intense aromas of black-skinned fruit, purple flower, oak and exotic spice. The taut, elegant palate offers black currant, black cherry, chopped mint and white pepper alongside bright acidity and polished, fine-grained tannins. It’s still youthfully austere, so give it time to fully develop. Drink 2020–2033.
