Parker about Solaia 1998
Solaia has been one of Italy's most brilliant wines since the early eighties. Made in a Bordeaux-like style, it will age for two decades or more. The 1998, a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese, and 5% Cabernet Franc (8,000 cases), was aged for 14 months in new and one-year old French oak casks prior to being bottled without filtration. Yields were a low 30 hectoliters per hectare. The 1998 is a classically-structured, dense, full-bodied, youthful, well-balanced wine designed for cellaring. Its opaque ruby/purple color is accompanied by a classic bouquet of black currants, vanilla, earth, tobacco, and a touch of mint. Full-bodied, moderately tannic, dense, and concentrated, this backward 1998 needs 3-4 years of cellaring.

Solaia 1998
1998 Solaia Rosso di Toscana IGT Marchesi Antinori
The 1998 Solaia is unfairly overshadowed by the more famous 1997, as it is hard to surpass in terms of elegance and refinement. The use of oak was more moderate here, allowing the fruit and terroir more room to develop. A long-lasting Solaia that is now in full bloom.
Recommendation Vintage Grapes Team:
Of course, tasting it now offers great pleasure and makes an excellent food accompaniment. We strongly recommend decanting the wine for two to four hours to allow it to air out.
The dry red wine consists of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese and has an alcohol content of 13.5%.
Thanks to our extensive expertise and professional storage, you'll always receive your wine in perfect condition. This allows you to decide without worry whether you want to enjoy it immediately or in a few years.
Marchesi Antinori
Information about the winemaker:
Wine lovers prick up their ears at the graceful sound of the name "Antinori". Because hardly any other family has shaped Italian winemaking history as strongly as the noble family with its headquarters in Florence. For more than six centuries, the noble family has stood for premium quality drops of pleasure.
