Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, June 2009

Argiano's 2006 Solengo is an explosive dense wine packed with blueberry jam, grilled herbs, tar and smoke. This is another structured, powerful wine that needs time for the tannins to soften but the wine is quite promising, even at this early stage. In 2006 Solengo has taken on elements of a Bordeaux-like classicism I find very appealing, although the Tuscan warmth inevitably comes through. Not a bad combination. The Sangiovese is gone, and Solengo is now 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 25% Syrah. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2021. -Antonio Galloni

Solengo is a masterfully crafted super Tuscan blend of Petit Verdot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with seamlessly integrated wood notes that form a modern and proud personality. Aromas include black cherry, exotic spice and chocolate and the wine's flavors are enduring and smooth. Cellar it for five more years at least.

($78) Shows black pepper, blackberry and mulberry aromas. Full-bodied, dense and rich, with seamless tannins and a silky, polished texture. Impressive length and structure. Built for aging. Reminiscent of the 1999. Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot. Best after 2012. 1,800 cases made

About Winery

In 1581, southwest of Montalcino, the Villa of Argiano was built among vineyards and olive groves. Under the management of Countess Noemi Marone Cinzano, Argiano embarked, in 1992 and thanks to the oenological guidance of the famous master Giacomo Tachis, in a journey committed only to the highest standards of quality and aimed at consolidating its position at the top of the coveted wine market. Adriano Bambagioni, Argiano's supervising cellar master for over 20 years, and the Danish winemaker Hans Vinding-Diers, of world famous reputation, guarantee now the quality of the wines obtained from Sangiovese grosso, the autochthonous grape of Montalcino; ultimate expression of the terroir.
