2021 Solaia Magnum
Solaia 2021 (Toscana IGT Rosso; 77% Cabernet Sauvignon; 14% Sangiovese; 9% Cabernet Franc, a little higher than usual; from a vineyard of around 20 hectares with a south-eastern exposition and at an altitude of 350-400 metres on a stony soil of alberese (hard limestone) and galestro (flaky calcareous clay; 14% alcohol; tasted with Stefano Carpaneto over Zoom). Very late picked in mid-October with long slow-ripening of the fruit. Black pen ink, graphite, mocha and rich dark berry and stone fruits – bramble, blackberry and black cherry predominantly, generously enrobed in lavender, violet with a subtle hint of freshly plucked rose petals and rose water. Salinity from the Sangiovese and a little sweet spice – cinnamon. A wine of incredible intensity, great impact, massive depth and concentration, yet with great lift, levity and grace. Fluid and dynamic despite the considerable structure and aging potential. Exceptionally long on the chewy tapering finish.
