Solaia 2017 has an intense and intense ruby red color.

The nose is impressive, with intense notes of dark and ripe fruit with aromas of blackberries, black currant with balsamic notes of fresh mint and myrtle.

Its bouquet is complemented by exquisite spicy aromas of white pepper, roasted cinnamon and cocoa powder.

The palate is rich and full-bodied; smooth, velvety and vibrant tannins provide a long finish and a persistent aftertaste where the toasted notes reappear and accentuate the finish.

The 2017 harvest will be remembered for its unusual weather conditions, marked by lower yields and relatively dry weather trends.

In vintages as peculiar as this one, experience and a deep knowledge of the vineyard play an even more important role.

If the 2016 harvest was shy and introverted, Solaia 2017 immediately expresses its extroverted personality.

Rich, intense and enveloping, it preserves the elegance and balance that have always defined Solaia's unique style.
