Antinori is probably; the most famous name in the world of Italian wine. In the last 25 years, Piero Antinori has overwhelmingly influenced her; but in 1996, when he took over the business from his father; Tuscan wine had big problems, and Chianti was considered cheap and common. Even if he respects the tradition, he decided that the future deserves a change. Along with the other big name in Italian wine, oenologist Giacomo Tachi; they turned their eyes to France and took as a consultant the no less famous Bordeaux oenologist Émile Peynaud. In 1970 they launched Tignanello; the first super-Tuscan wine and, at the same time; the first wine that proved that Italy can make really great wines. Solaia followed; a Cabernet-based assembly; competition for wines from Bordeaux and Napa Valley. And then came the recognition: in 2000; Wine Spectator designated Solaia 1997 as the Wine of the Year. It was the first Italian wine to receive this honor. After Tignanello and Solaia proved that Tuscany can give first-hand wines; both from Sangiovese and from international varieties; at tailor-made prices; not a few Italian producers have understood that it is worth following in their footsteps. Variety: 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese, 7% Cabernet Franc (Supertoscan) Color: dark ruby red with purple hues Bouquet: The complexity and expressiveness of the aromas are really high: the nose offers strong notes of plum jam and ripe black fruits such as blackberries, blueberries and apricots . The perfectly integrated sensations of chocolate and licorice leave room on the finish with mint notes that give a special freshness to the bouquet. Taste: The wine is harmonious in taste with an excellent and balanced structure; the suppleness and silkiness of the tannins give it solidity; elegance and an extremely long finish and a very long and persistent taste.
