2015 | Marchesi Antinori Solaia | Tuscany | Italy
A perfect 100-point Solaia — Antinori's Super Tuscan icon in what James Suckling called the best ever.
Solaia is one of the wines that defined the Super Tuscan movement: Antinori's Cabernet-dominant Tuscan masterpiece from a sun-drenched hillside above the Tignanello vineyard. The 2015 is a Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend with Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc, and it earned a flawless 100 points — James Suckling called it "the best ever," crediting a near-perfect Tuscan growing season.
A perfect-score vintage of a blue-chip icon is exactly what serious cellars are built on. 100 points, James Suckling, "the best ever" → back-vintage Solaia only grows scarcer and dearer → at $615 you're securing a flawless vintage of one of Italy's greatest wines.
- ~75% Cabernet Sauvignon, with Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc
- Toscana IGT — the Solaia hillside above Tignanello
- Marchesi Antinori — Super Tuscan royalty
