The 2020 Antinori Solaia Super Tuscan blends a Cabernet Sauvignon foundation with targeted proportions of Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese, sourced exclusively from a twenty-hectare southwest-facing vineyard block on the Tignanello estate. This vintage showcases the winery’s longstanding commitment to precision farming and structured aging, delivering immediate drinkability while retaining ten years of cellar potential.

Vines cultivate at elevations between 350 and 400 meters on well-draining alberese limestone and galestro clay. Night harvesting preserves aromatic freshness, followed by gentle extraction in conical wood fermentation vessels. The wine rests for eighteen months in new French oak barriques, with lots matured separately to maintain distinct varietal characteristics before the final assembly.

Optimal Serving & Storage

Decant for thirty minutes prior to consumption to allow the dense fruit core and integrated oak to open. Serve between sixteen and eighteen degrees Celsius for ideal balance. Cellared vertically in a cool, dark environment, the 2020 releases tertiary earth and spice compounds slowly over the next decade.

Tasting Notes

Pouring a deep ruby, the wine immediately presents concentrated blackberry, black currant, and ripe plum. Secondary layers emerge with fresh mint, field myrtle, and lavender. Clove, cracked black pepper, and dark cocoa anchor a full-bodied frame, while silky tannins support an extended, mineral-driven conclusion.

Foods to Serve

  • Braised short ribs or slow-roasted lamb shanks
  • Wild boar ragù or seasoned grilled game birds
  • Two-year aged Parmigiano Reggiano and pecorino Toscano

"The 2020 Solaia is an infant. I expected a more exuberant wine, but the 2020 is built along more classic lines. Black cherry, plum, gravel, incense, smoke, pencil shavings and spice all open effortlessly. As always, Solaia is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine, but it is a Cabernet that is distinctly Italian, with plenty of Tuscan acid and structure driving through the mid-palate and into the finish. The 2020 is a terrific example of the recent stylistic shift at Antinori. In the past, richness and opulence are qualities of a vintage that would have been amplified in the vineyard and cellar. Today, the aim is to capture a more balanced expression of these kinds of vintages, and that very much comes through. "
