About this Item

1995 Solaia
1 (1 x 1) 1500ml

The Antinori family has been committed to the art of winemaking for over six centuries, since 1385, when Giovanni di Piero Antinori became a member of the Arte Fiorentina dei Vinattieri – the Florentine Winemakers’ Guild. Throughout its history, which spans an incredible twenty-six generations, the Antinori family has managed their business directly, making innovative, bold decisions while respecting their traditions and the environment. Their innovations played a pivotal part in Italy’s ‘Super-Tuscan’ revolution of the 1970s. As Marchese Piero loves to say, ‘ancient family roots play an important part in our philosophy but they have never hindered our innovative spirit.’

Critics Ratings

‘The 1995 Solaia is simply magnificent. Here it is the wine’s combination of richness and vibrancy that impress. The 1995 is a wine of total balance, harmony and class. What a great showing.’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 96/100 (Dec 2013)

‘Always a voluptuous and rounded red. Gorgeous blackberry, black currant and lead pencil aromas. Full-bodied, with well integrated, soft tannins. Long, fruity aftertaste.’ - Wine Spectator, 90/100 (Dec 1998)
