Marchesi Antinori Solaia 1999 is a mature-vintage, single-vineyard Supertuscan red wine from the Tuscany region of central Italy. The Antinori family have been producing wine in Tuscany for six centuries and have become the region`s – arguably Italy’s – pre-eminent wine producer. Solaia is the name of a 10ha southwest-facing vineyard near the family`s Tignanello estate. It is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc. The 1999 Solaia is available here in magnum format. "Revealing its extraordinary complexity slowly, the 1999 vintage is ultimate savoury minerality, with a persistent liquorice note, which winemaker Renzo Cotarella said he felt marks this vintage. It expresses just enough Mediterranean warmth. Dense fruit complements fully integrated tannins and there is remarkable precision from beginning to end. This is truly in its optimal drinking window, where it should stay for the next few years. Those lucky enough to have some should not hesitate to crack open a bottle whenever an opportunity presents itself." Decanter, 2019
