Antinori Col Solare 2016

Behind every wine is an idea. Col Solare is the fruit of the shared desire of Chateau St. Michelle and Antinori to experiment with the potential of the Columbia Valley. Making wine is a partnership with nature, a dialogue between land and imagination, terroir and technology.
Antinori contributed a heritage of expertise and a passion for innovation; Chateau St. Michelle in turn offered unlimited inspiration and vineyards suited to the production of well-structured red wines.
Thus the partnership began and the result was one of the most original wines in the world: Col Solare, first produced in 1995. Columbia Valley enjoys long sunny days and very hot summers, a climate favourable to very rich fruity grapes. The cold winters allow the vines to rest long enough to produce grapes with an intensely varietal character, thanks also to the predominantly loess soil.Col Solare is characterful, well-structured wine, vinified in order to age stylishly for a long period of time. It is very fruity (black berry fruit) and mature tannins endow it with body and structure. Full-bodied, aromatic, intense.Col Solare is an original interpretation of the Columbia Valley.
