Tasting notes
The 1982 is an intriguing Solaia. It is ripe to the point of being slightly candied and a touch volatile, and yet it has so much character. Time in the glass works wonders in helping the wine find its balance. Although it is fully mature, the 1982 retains terrific richness and textural intensity.

An early, totally beautiful Solaia, the 1982 is also utterly impeccable. Here it is the wine's classic sense of structure that stands out most. There is a purity to the fruit in this vintage that is simply striking. This is the first vintage in which Solaia includes Sangiovese, an early precursor to how the wine would develop in the coming years. Today, the 1982 is impressive.
