Antinori

Antinori owns some of the most sought after estates in Tuscany and Umbria. They were leaders in the creation of the so-called 'Super Tuscans'. Solaia, which means the 'sunny one' in Italian, is a 10 hectares vineyard attached to the Tignanello vineyard, in the Mercatale Val di Pesa area of Chianti Classico. Antinori first produced Solaia in 1978, from 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc. The blend has changed over the years and now includes Sangiovese.

Wines from Antinori

Producer: Antinori
Wine: Cervaro 2008
Region: Umbria Country: Italy
Grape: Chardonnay
Tasting notes: This wine is made from 85% Chardonnay and 15% Grechetto grapes from vines planted at Antinori's Castello della Sala in Umbria, at elevations ranging between 200 and 400 metres. The varieties are vinified separately and the musts remain in contact with the skins for about 8 hours at 10°c to maximise the wine's aromas. Fermentation is in French oak barriques, and the wine then remains on the lees in the barriques for about 5 months, during which time it completes its malolactic fermentation. It then spends a further 10 months in the bottle in the historic cellars of Castello della Sala before being released.

The result is a complex array of aromas of citrus, pineapple and pears blending with vanilla from the oak used for ageing. Excellent and unspoilt varietal character. Well-structured palate with a long, satisfying finish.

Wine: Antinori Cervaro Della Sala 2008
Region: Umbria Country: Italy
Grape: Chardonnay, Grechetto
Tasting notes: The 2008 vintage was truly one to remember: a rather mild winter was followed by a spring with very intense rains, which, in turn, was followed by a summer filled with beautiful weather.
Cervaro expresses an intense fragrance with aromatic notes of citrus, pears, and acacia flowers, which blend with hints of vanilla to heighten the wine's complexity. It is full-flavored and well-structured, with sweet notes of butter and hazelnut, while simultaneously persistent and minerally. The wine is intended for evolving and aging well in the bottle.

Wine: Guado al Tasso 2005
Region: Tuscany Country: Italy
Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz / Syrah, Merlot
Tasting notes: 92 Points - Antonio Galloni (The Wine Advocate)

"The estate's flagship wine, the 2005 Guado al Tasso, possesses gorgeous aromatics and a core of vibrant, dark fruit framed by finessed tannins. Medium to full-bodied, it shows superb balance, particularly in the use of French oak, something that I haven't always been able to say in the past. With air, attractive notes of wild herbs, smoke, minerals and sweet toasted oak develop to complete this very pretty Guado al Tasso. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2019."

Producer: Antinori
Wine: La Braccesca Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2006
Region: Tuscany Country: Italy
Grape: Sangiovese, Merlot
Tasting notes: "The 2006 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a relatively accessible, straightforward offering with an attractive plumpness in its dark fruit. This juicy Vino Nobile offers good length, if not tons of complexity. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012. 88 points.

La Braccesca, the Antinori family’s property in Montepulciano, continues to be an excellent source for the wines from this corner of Tuscany."
