Argiano Solengo IGT 2022
95 Points - Raffaele Vecchione. Solengo was the brainchild of the legendary winemaker and father of Super Tuscan wines, Giacomo Tachis. The first vintage was 1995 and is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Sangiovese. The wines are aged in French barriques for twelve months and are blended just before the bottling. A long period in bottle follows before the finished Solengo is released. Solengo, by the way, means solitary wild boar in Tuscan, and describes perfectly the regal, powerful, self-confident beast that lurks within each delicious bottle.
Wine Press Ratings
95 Points - Raffaele Vecchione (2022 Vintage)
94 Points - Faltstaff (2022 Vintage)
"An intense ruby red, almost impenetrable. Elegant nose, ripe plum and cherry, followed by some fresh thyme and peppery notes. Also elegant on the palate, fresh herbs, juicy, multilayered, wonderful tannins, an animated acidity, with a persistent, savoury finish."
Tasting Notes
Notes of sour cherry jam and pepper leaves with hints of tobacco; on the palate, flavourful tannins, excellent persistence and powerful but elegant structure.
Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon | Petit Verdot | Merlot | Sangiovese
About the Producer
Argiano’s history dates back to 1580, when the Pecci family of Siena began the construction of a magnificent villa, complete with vast cellars. In 1967, Argiano, which is the south west quarter of the Brunello appellation, was one of the founder members of the Consorzio di Brunello. In 1992 Contessa Noemi Marone Cinzano bought the estate, and engaged the world-famous Giacomo Tachis (the creator of Sassicaia, Tignanello and Solaia) as consultant oenologist.
