The fuller-bodied 2005 Cote Rotie Cote Rozier is not as charming or fruit-forward as its younger sibling.

Solaia Vertical with Antonio Galloni, Piero Antinori and Renzo Cotarella

The evening started with Piero Antinori explaining how Solaia first came about, how it was effectively the result of a very lucky accident, much in the same way as Champagne. In 1978, the vines used to make Antinori’s Tignanello produced an unusually high yield of Cabernet Sauvignon. Rather than waste this, or blend it into the other wines, they decided ...
