Solengo 2023 har fået et elegant og helt forfinet løft hvor vinens balance og finesse kommer virkelig stærkt i spild. Brombær, solbær, sort te, sort peber og bitter mørk chokolade. En vifte af noter, der er flot og nøje orkestreret. Skønheden i denne vin ligger i detaljen - og detaljer er der rigeligt af.

Noget af den fineste vin til prisen kommer med et dansk touch og fra danske Vinding-Diers, og den er fremragende. Flot vin hvor der er gået i dybden både i marken og i kælderen. Duft af brombær, solbær, blommer, svampe, jordbund og vanilje. I munden er den fyldig, har masser af frugtsyre og blide tanniner - det er en vin, som der er gang i - masser af energi som bare vil frem! Til prisen er den noget af det bedste, du får ud af Toscana.

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.

For the 2023 Solengo, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Petit Verdot is joined by the small addition of Cabernet Franc for the first time. The wine sports a saturated red/purple hue and a ripe, inviting nose of baked blackberries, plum, black olive, lavender, and fresh earth. It was aged for 18 months in 60% new French barriques. Full-bodied, it has polished tannins and a gamey richness that comes through on the palate, with refreshing acidity and a warming finish. It’s still a baby at this stage and will benefit from time in bottle.
