Sort By:

Antinori 1997 Solaia Red (Toscana)

Editors' Choice

Price $115

Top-echelon, with a stunning purity and depth of layered fruit both sensuous and intellectually appealing. The dark cherry and plum core is oak-enveloped with rarely seen seamlessness, while the big but supple mouthfeel belies the wine’s profound power and structure. A classic effort marked by perfect fruit-to-acid balance, firm, refined tannins and a seemingly… — W.E. (9/1/2001)

Antinori 1999 Guado Al Tasso Red (Bolgheri)

Price $80

Fast becoming one of the world’s top luxury cuvées, this blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Syrah is a complex amalgam of dry, classy fruit, herbal notes, smoked meat, black pepper and baking spices. Its calling card is its perfect body weight. It isn’t heavy or jammy, but it manages to offer tons of stuffing and a graceful finish loaded with the… — M.S. (8/1/2002)

Antinori 2001 Pian delle Vigne Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)

Price $65

Blockbuster Brunello that is welcoming and inviting no matter how you cut it. The aromatic portfolio is luscious and intense with sweet bread, cinnamon, chewy cherry, raspberry roll-up, dried oregano, cassis and blueberry. Concentrated and creamy, this brand is easy to find at retail. Imported by Remy Cointreau USA. — W.E. (4/1/2006)

Antinori 2003 Muffato della Sala Castello della Sala White (Umbria)

Online Exclusive

Price $49

This is an obviously well-made dessert wine that seems to push all the right buttons in terms of sweetness and intensity. It delivers thick tones of apricot, marzipan, dried fruit and honey without going overboard on any one note. It offers deep, concentrated flavors over a creamy delivery and a long, sweet finish. — M.L. (5/1/2008)

Antinori 1997 Tignanello Sangiovese (Toscana)

Cellar Selection

Price $80

Reticent at first, the elements show their complexity and depth with time. Full and very dark, this offers plenty of black cherry and cedar aromas and flavors offset by impressive licorice and Mouton-like pencil-lead notes. Smooth on the palate, showing great balance and integration, the ripe fruit here sings through the long finish with its soft tannins, good grip… — W.E. (9/1/2001)

Antinori 1997 Pian Delle Vigne Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)

Price $70

The work of award-winning winemaker Renzo Cotarella shows through in this wine’s modern, bright purple color, its new wood and ripe fruit aromas and in the juicy blackberry and berry fruit flavors. Yet it is certainly not just modern glitz: Lurking behind is the real heart of a tough, ageworthy, tannic Brunello, which promises a good 10 years at least before being… — M.S. (8/1/2002)

Antinori 1999 Pian delle Vigne Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)

Price $80

Lovely, with its own version of perfume exuding from the glass. Additional rose and berry notes lead to a silky palate featuring prune, flourless chocolate torte and coffee. The back end is tighter and heavier than the front, which bodes well for its future. Made in the modern style. — M.S. (6/1/2004)

Antinori 1998 Tenuta Marchese Antinori Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)

Price $23

A classically powerful Riserva from Antinori, produced from the three family estates at Tignanello, Pèppoli and Badia a Passignano. Aromas of violets and cherries are followed by tobacco and spice flavors from the wood, as well as concentrated black fruits. Rich and full-bodied, it should age well over the next 10 years. — R.V. (8/1/2002)

2009 Occasio

Occasio has made a restrained and elegant Cabernet, alluring in its cola…
