The 2022 Marchese Antinori Solaia Toscana IGT is one of Italy’s most legendary Super Tuscan wines, produced from the famed Solaia vineyard in the heart of Chianti Classico. Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller portions of Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese, it combines Tuscan elegance with Bordeaux-inspired power and refinement. The nose is intensely layered with blackcurrant, blackberry and plum alongside graphite, tobacco, dark chocolate, sweet spice and violet florals.
On the palate, it is full-bodied yet remarkably polished, with concentrated dark fruit, silky tannins and vibrant acidity creating exceptional balance, depth and precision. Notes of cocoa, cedar and savoury herbs carry through an extraordinarily long, refined finish. The 2022 vintage is celebrated for its richness, freshness and harmony, further cementing Solaia’s reputation as one of the world’s great collectible wines.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a flagship collector’s wine and one of the benchmark Super Tuscans for customers seeking prestige, complexity and long-term cellaring potential. Powerful yet elegant, it pairs beautifully with premium steak, braised beef, game meats or truffle dishes. Decant if drinking young or cellar confidently for 20–30+ years.
