Tasting notes
The estate's 2001 Solare is an earthy, brooding wine endowed with masses of sweet dark fruit, blackberries, leather and underbrush. It is a plump, engaging wine that offers notable length on the palate and gorgeous overall balance. The tannins build on the finish, so a minimum of another few years of bottle age seems prudent. This remains an extraordinarily backward wine considering its age. It is another great effort from Capanelle. Solare is 80% Sangiovese and 20% Malvasia Nera that spends at least two years in French oak.
