Marchesi Antinori Solaia Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy 2022 Bioweingut Hofer H U M Versatile sparkling wineMore elegant than powerful and more approachable than usual, with stunning concentration and complexity. Aromas of subtle cassis, toast, herbs and a refreshing balsamic touch. Firm on the palate, with a full body, velvety texture and moderate acidity but not at the expense of its great balance. Sleek, polished aftertaste with sweet tobacco flavors. Drinkable now, but best from 2026. 98 Pts James Suckling
