2012 Argiano Solengo Toscana IGT, Tuscany

‘Solengo’, Tuscan for ‘lone wild boar’, is made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Syrah. Solengo is a modern, well-balanced and full-bodied wine. It is deep, dark purple in colour with a bouquet of ripe fruit, blackcurrants and blackberries, with a hint of toasted oak. It is smooth on the palate, with a great concentration of excellent fruit, nicely balanced with delicate, soft tannins. The structure and complexity in the mouth are outstanding, tempered by excellent tannic extracts. Its grace and delicacy mean that it can be drunk while young, yet it also has a remarkable ageing capacity.
