Argiano, Solengo, Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy, 2022

Overview of the Wine
After this estate was acquired by Countess Noemi Marone Cinzano, the philosophy changed whereby quality and personality became the dominant priorities. In order to achieve these goals, Sebastiano Rosa was appointed as General Manager of the Estate. Having spent six years at the University of California at Davis, a two year tenure at Chateau Lafite Rothschild and three years at Sassacaia, he brings a strong mix of experience.

In addition, Dr. Giacomo Tachis, probably the most well known winemaker in Italy today, became the oenologist. His legacy includes Sassacaia, Tignanello and Solaia, to name a few. Argiano's vineyards are located in the Montalicino area where a perfect microclimate assures a super ecological system. Varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese are planted. These grapes have not traditionally been part of the Montalcino area.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Fruity nose with characteristic red fruits, notes of undergrowth and final spiciness.
Powerful but harmonious mouth with a savory finish and present but silky tannins.

94 Points - Falstaff
Intense ruby red, almost impenetrable. Elegant nose, ripe plum and cherry, followed by some fresh thyme and pepper. Also elegant on the palate, with pleasant herbal spice, juicy, builds up well, fine tannins, animating acidity, persistent, spicy finish.
