This \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e skilfully combines Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes, presenting itself in the glass with an intense ruby red colour. On the nose, it opens with bold aromas of dark chocolate, cherry and blackcurrant, enriched by pleasant notes of vanilla and cloves. The palate is rich and satisfying, characterised by a fruity sip with notes of black berries and supported by \u003cstrong\u003eripe tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that provide great structure and a harmonious finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from Columbia Valley, in the United States, the result of a solid collaboration between Antinori and \u003cstrong\u003eChateau Ste. Michelle\u003c\/strong\u003e. The area is characterised by very hot summers and particularly harsh winters, a climate that favours the full ripening of the grapes and an intense concentration of fruit. The \u003cstrong\u003eloess soils\u003c\/strong\u003e give a defined imprint to the varietal profile and support the development of a \u003cstrong\u003estable tannic structure\u003c\/strong\u003e. These environmental conditions allow the vineyard to rest adequately, ensuring harvests with marked expressiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with a gentle crushing of the bunches and subsequent division into lots for a \u003cstrong\u003eskin fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e lasting seven to ten days. Regular pump-overs are carried out to optimise the extraction of aromas and phenolic components. The wine is then separated from the skins and transferred directly into \u003cstrong\u003enew barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e of French and American oak. Here it undergoes \u003cstrong\u003eageing for twenty-six months\u003c\/strong\u003e, an essential period that allows the wood to integrate perfectly with the primary notes. This method gives the whole a precise technical profile and great structural balance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result of collaboration between Marchesi Antinori and Chateau Ste. Michelle, this prestigious red expresses the winemaking excellence of the \u003cstrong\u003eColumbia Valley\u003c\/strong\u003e. The 2019 vintage blends the centuries-old Tuscan vision with the American terroir, offering an intense and rewarding tasting experience. The \u003cstrong\u003e26 months of ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e in new barriques enhances the aromatic profile with elegant notes of dark chocolate, cherry and vanilla. Awarded 96 points by Robert Parker, the wine envelops the palate with \u003cstrong\u003emature tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e, revealing a full structure and a balance of extraordinary charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Marchesi Antinori","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44751146811563,"sku":"54400","price":105.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/antinori-col-solare-cabernet-sauvignon-2019_54400_1_6025d2a8-c4eb-4712-98f2-b6f50d46f3e8.webp?v=1773746558","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-be\/products\/antinori-col-solare-cabernet-sauvignon-2019","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
