Robert Parker describes Solengo as:
🏆 “One of the hottest investment wines in Tuscany” 🏆

Solengo Tenuta di Argiano Supertoscaner is an absolutely world-class wine. The name “Solengo”, which means “lonely wild boar”, reflects the wine’s powerful and independent nature. The wine is created in Montalcino, where Argiano, with its more than 400 years of history, has established itself as one of Tuscany’s most respected producers.

Created by the legendary Giacomo Tachis – known as the father of Sassicaia – in collaboration with Hans Vinding-Diers, Solengo combines the best of Tuscan terroir with international winemaking. The wine is made from 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 25% Petit Verdot and 5% Sangiovese. The grapes are hand-harvested and vinified separately before being aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 60% of which are new.

Solengo appears deep inky black with purple hues and opens on the nose with dark berries, chocolate and Tuscan undergrowth. On the palate it delivers a full, silky structure with ripe tannins and balanced acidity. The long finish completes the wine's impressive depth with notes of spices and dark fruit.

The wine is perfect with red meat, game and mature cheeses. It can be enjoyed now, but has the potential to develop even greater complexity over 10-15 years. Solengo Tenuta di Argiano Supertoscaner is not just a wine – it is an experience that deserves its place in every wine cellar.
