A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Petit Verdot, 20% Merlot and 5% Sangiovese, the hot-vintage 2020 Solengo (in a heavy glass bottle) is very rich and dense with firm textural support and a full-bodied style. The wine is bold and beautiful and so is the quality of the fruit; however, there is a lot of oak spice and toast to take in. That oak is good reason to put this bottle aside in your cellar for three or four more years. Some 35,000 bottles were made.

Key characteristics
About this wine
Solengo is Argiano's 'Super Tuscan' blend, made in Montalcino under the broader Toscana IGT designation that allows the estate to work with Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Merlot alongside Sangiovese. The mix leans international, giving a wine built more on Bordeaux structure than classic Sangiovese acidity, though the local grape still leaves its mark on the finished blend.
Expect a dense, dark-fruited red with firm tannin and real weight at 14.5% abv - a wine for the table, not sipping alone. Pour with beef, lamb or game birds, grilled meats and charcuterie, or alongside mushroom and truffle dishes and aged Parmesan. Serve at 16-18°C.
