Argiano

Solengo is the first Super Tuscan to originate in Montalcino. The wine’s name, Solengo, means “lone wild boar” in Tuscan Italian. The founding father of the Super Tuscans, Giacomo Tachis, was instrumental in crafting this flagship Super Tuscan for Argiano. The exuberant, concentrated 2017 Solengo opens with notes of violets, roses, blackberry, black currant and plum, with subtle hints of flint, cedar and tea leaf, finishing long. Smooth and full-bodied, the delicate tannins and supreme balance will allow this wine to evolve masterfully for a decade or more.

Beginning with the wine’s deep ruby red color, Rosso di Montalcino offers outstanding concentration and generous fruit while maintaining elegance in mouthfeel and structure. Layered and smooth, Argiano Rosso di Montalcino opens with notes of cherry, strawberry and blueberry that seamlessly blend with deeper hints of rose, herbs, cedar and freshly turned earth. An open, approachable wine, Rosso di Montalcino has velvety tannins and a persistent finish. The wine will continue to evolve over the next five to seven years.

Argiano’s Brunello di Montalcino is distinguished by its harmonious depth, elegance and length. Offering a deep ruby red color, vintage 2015 opens with complex aromas of fruits and florals, herbs and earth. On the well-structured palate, juicy notes of cherry, plum and blackberry blend with hints of soft leather and licorice. Medium-bodied, this Brunello has fine, soft tannins, refreshing acidity and a persistent, lingering finish.

This red blend combines warm red berry flavors with dark fruit and earthiness to create an elegant wine with both richness and a sense of lightness. From an estate with 500 years of wine history, it is a taste of the sun and sea breezes that sweep the ancient hills of Tuscany.
