The 2023 Argiano Solengo IGT is a premium Italian red wine from Montalcino in Tuscany, produced by the historic Argiano estate. This celebrated Super Tuscan blend combines international grape varieties, traditionally including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Sangiovese, to create a powerful yet refined wine. Its anticipated aromas reveal ripe blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum, complemented by notes of cedar, tobacco, liquorice and subtle baking spice.
On the palate, it is expected to be full-bodied with firm, polished tannins and balanced acidity. Flavours of dark cherry, blackcurrant and ripe plum unfold alongside hints of dark chocolate, toasted oak and savoury herbs. Its concentrated fruit character is supported by elegant structure and complexity, leading to a long, persistent finish with lingering dark berries and spice.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who appreciate premium Super Tuscan reds with rich fruit, structured tannins and impressive ageing potential. The 2023 Argiano Solengo offers a sophisticated expression of Montalcino, combining dark berry richness with savoury complexity and refined oak influence. A suggested drinking window is 2028–2040, with further development possible under suitable cellaring conditions. Serve at approximately 16–18°C, allowing time for aeration. Particularly well suited to grilled ribeye steak, slow-braised beef cheeks, rosemary-roasted lamb, wild mushroom risotto or aged Pecorino cheese.
