Solaia 2003

The Solaia 2003 presents itself in the glass with a deep, dark red color. On the nose, it unfolds a complex bouquet of ripe dark fruits such as black cherries, blackberries, and cassis, accompanied by aromas of spices, tobacco, and subtle wood notes. On the palate, it displays impressive fullness and density, with ripe, silky tannins and balanced acidity. The wine possesses remarkable depth and complexity, accompanied by a long, elegant finish.
The Solaia 2003 from Marchesi Antinori is a wine of exceptional quality and elegance. It pairs beautifully with hearty meat dishes such as beef or lamb, but can also be enjoyed on its own to fully appreciate its unique flavors and characteristics.
