Marchesi Antinori - Solaia 2017 750ml

{ "available": "true", "body_html": "<div class="simple-wine__category-wrapper"> <div class="simple-wine__category"> <div class="wine-bottle__category-text"> "The sunniest part of the Tignanello's hillside is home to the Solaia vineyard. The very best grapes from the very best vineyard. All the rest is passion, the utmost care and research. These are the secrets of Solaia together with the finest Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese grapes from its namesake vineyard. Solaia is a 50 acre (20 hectare) vineyard with a southwestern exposure located at an altitude between 1150 and 1325 feet (350-400 meters) above sea level and with a stony soil of “alberese” (hard limestone) and “galestro” (flaky calcareous clay) rock. The vineyard is located at the Tignanello estate. The Antinori family produced this wine for the first time in the year 1978, and the initial blend was 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Cabernet Franc, a formula repeated in 1979 as well. In the following years, 20% of Sangiovese was introduced and certain adjustments were also made in the rapport between Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc until the current blend was settled upon. Solaia is produced only in exceptional vintage, and was not produced in 1980, 1981, 1983, 1984, and 1992. The 2017 growing season will be remembered for its highly unusual weather conditions. Winter was relatively moderate registering cold temperatures only during the month of January. Mild weather persisted throughout the season prompting early bud break. A sudden drop in temperatures at the end of April caused slightly smaller yields. From the month of May throughout all of August the Chianti Classico area experienced hot, dry weather with daily temperatures often exceeding 30 °C (86 °F). September rain showers partially counter balanced summer vine stress allowing the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness. Harvesting took place from September 20th to October 6th." - Marchesi Antinori REVIEWS "The Marchesi Antinori 2017 Solaia offers a uniquely floral personality with wild rose and lilac that comes as a surprise, especially if you are expecting the more robust and opulent dark fruit associated with this vintage. To use a word that is popular now, the aromas are absolutely lifted. This is a bouquet-driven wine, showing great oak choices that are synergistic with the light and considerably thinner palate. Dried or pressed flowers cede to cherry, blueberry, some red meat char and a light touch of cinnamon. My impression is that the dry extract from the oak ultimately plays a bigger role in the overall flavor profile, preserving its red fruit core nevertheless. The wine is very accessible in terms of mouthfeel, showing a comparatively thinner and shorter approach. With more time in the glass, it offers some of the white soil dust that is a standard Solaia signature. It will be released the first week of September." 95 Points. - Monica Larner, Robert Parker Wine Advocate (August 2020) "Extremely aromatic with sage, lavender, blackberries and currants. Full-bodied with chewy and very polished tannins that melt into the wine. Foursquare and slightly austere. Fresh and well framed. A wine that needs five to six years to soften and come together completely. Try after 2025." 97 Points. - James Suckling (August 2020) "Just bottled, the 2017 Solaia is naturally going to need time to come together. Even in the early going, though, it shows all the richness and opulence that is typical of the year, with terrific aromatic expansiveness and tons of persistence. I can't wait to taste it with a bit more time in bottle." 95+ Points. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous (August 2019) <div class="simple-wine__category-wrapper">Style / Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc & Sangiovese Region: Tuscany, Italy ABV: 14.0% Vol: 750ml</div> </div> </div> </div>", "collections": ["wine-cabernet-sauvignon","all","red-wine","wine-sangiovese","cellar-collection-wine","tipple-wine"], "handle": "marchesi-antinori-solaia-2017-2017-750ml", "id": "7333175886012", "images": [ { "alt": "Marchesi Antinori - Solaia 2017 750ml", "src": "//carwyncellars.com.au/cdn/shop/products/212411_solaia_antinori_1x1_crop_center.png?v=1640145903" } , { "alt": "Marchesi Antinori - Solaia 2017 750ml", "src": "//carwyncellars.com.au/cdn/shop/products/212411_solaia_antinori-2_1x1_crop_center.png?v=1640145907" } , { "alt": "Marchesi Antinori - Solaia 2017 750ml", "src": "//carwyncellars.com.au/cdn/shop/products/212411_solaia_antinori-3_1x1_crop_center.png?v=1640145909" } ], "options": [ { "name": "Size", "position": "1", "product_id": "7333175886012" } ], "metafields": { "moreInfo": "", "tastingNotes": "", "tastingNotes": "" }, "first_available_variant": {"id":41315112419516,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"48247","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":31684984373436,"product_id":7333175886012,"position":1,"created_at":"2021-12-22T15:05:03+11:00","updated_at":"2021-12-22T15:05:03+11:00","alt":null,"width":2000,"height":2000,"src":"\/\/carwyncellars.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/products\/212411_solaia_antinori.png?v=1640145903","variant_ids":[41315112419516]},"available":true,"name":"Marchesi Antinori - Solaia 2017 750ml - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":85000,"weight":1400,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":3,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"8001935144502","featured_media":{"alt":null,"id":24115030065340,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":2000,"width":2000,"src":"\/\/carwyncellars.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/products\/212411_solaia_antinori.png?v=1640145903"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}, "has_only_default_variant": "false", "options_with_values": [{"name":"Size","position":1,"values":["Single"]}], "selected_variant": "", "selected_or_first_available_variant": {"id":41315112419516,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"48247","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":31684984373436,"product_id":7333175886012,"position":1,"created_at":"2021-12-22T15:05:03+11:00","updated_at":"2021-12-22T15:05:03+11:00","alt":null,"width":2000,"height":2000,"src":"\/\/carwyncellars.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/products\/212411_solaia_antinori.png?v=1640145903","variant_ids":[41315112419516]},"available":true,"name":"Marchesi Antinori - Solaia 2017 750ml - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":85000,"weight":1400,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":3,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"8001935144502","featured_media":{"alt":null,"id":24115030065340,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":2000,"width":2000,"src":"\/\/carwyncellars.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/products\/212411_solaia_antinori.png?v=1640145903"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}, "product_type": "WINE", "price": "85000", "price_max": "85000", "price_min": "85000", "tags": ["_sync","country~italy","region~tuscany","specifics~cellarcollection","style~red wine","substyle~cabernet sauvignon","substyle~red blend","substyle~sangiovese"], "title": "Marchesi Antinori - Solaia 2017 750ml", "url": "/products/marchesi-antinori-solaia-2017-2017-750ml", "vendor": "Marchesi Antinori", "variants": [ { "image_id": 31684984373436, "available": "true", "id": "41315112419516", "inventory_management": "shopify", "inventory_policy": "deny", "inventory_quantity": "3", "option1": "Single", "option2": "", "option3": "", "position": "1", "price": "85000", "requires_shipping": "true", "sku": "48247", "image": "products/212411_solaia_antinori.png", "taxable": "true", "title": "Single", "weight": 1.4, "weight_unit": "kg" } ] }
