Parker about Soloia 1999
The first two bottles I tasted of the 1999 Solaia were corked, but the third was brilliant. Its black/purple color is followed by a sumptuous bouquet of licorice, blackberries, mint, and cassis, all presented in a concentrated, medium to full-bodied, dense yet elegant style. Although still young, it is undoubtedly the qualitative equivalent of a Bordeaux first or second growth.

1999 Solaia Rosso di Toscana IGT Marchesi Antinori
The 1999 Solaia demonstrates the full potential of this outstanding wine. Now perfectly mature, it offers a seductive bouquet of dark fruits and spices. The wine would perform well in a blind tasting alongside the Premier Crus of Bordeaux...simply magnificent.
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.
