Argiano has been on fire lately, and according to Eric Guido, while he’s not quite ready to crown them Montalcino’s most improved estate of the last decade, they’re definitely in the running.

Once overseen by the legendary Giacomo Tachis (of Sassicaia and San Leonardo fame), Solengo is a powerhouse blend: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 15% Petit Verdot, and 5% Sangiovese. It brings together the structure and finesse of Bordeaux grapes with the warmth and richness of Tuscany. Right out of the gate, it’s full of plush plummy fruit, a hint of spice, and super-refined tannins, giving it both charm and backbone.

That said, it will only get better with age. Once fully matured, Solengo is right up there with the best Super Tuscans, often reminiscent of a top-class Bordeaux, but with a bold Italian soul.

What the critics say:

93/100Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

"A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 15% Petit Verdot and 5% Sangiovese, the Argiano 2023 Solengo shows ripe fruit and vinous aromas of cherry skin and fruit preserves. This was not an easy vintage—especially across the different varieties in the blend—and fruit selection was crucial to achieving quality. There is a firm, almost stemmy edge, with extra bulk on the full-bodied finish. Notes of cracked white pepper, bay leaf and wild blackberry emerge on the close. First released in the early 1990s, Solengo represents Argiano’s super Tuscan expression, blending international varieties with a small but meaningful Tuscan imprint. Merlot has been phased out and replaced by Cabernet Franc in this vintage. Production is approximately 70,000 bottles."

OUR GROWERS

Tenuta di Argiano

Argiano is one of the oldest and most beautiful estates in Montalcino (and was one of the members of the original Brunello Consorzio).

Although the estate is situated in the south of the region which tends to be several degrees warmer than vineyards to the north, the vineyards achieve good elevation and comprise a high percentage of the mineral-rich marl in their clay limestone soil, also found in the hill of Montosoli – Montalcino’s widely accepted “Grand Cru” site.
