Solengo 2023

Argiano (hentet 13. okt. 2026): Solengo 2023 – IGT Toscana Druer: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Sangiovese (producentens tekniske ark). Alkohol: 14.5 % vol. Jord (producentens tekst, engelsk): Marl, ancient clay with high limestone concentration. Højde (producentens tekst, engelsk): From 280 to 310 meters above sea level. Vinmarker (producentens tekst, engelsk): From 22 to 15 years old. Vejret (producentens tekst, engelsk): Winter was quite mild, but rainier than usual, with precipitations enabling to start with a good supply of water. March was milder than usual and April was fresher. Conversely, the month of May aligned with the average temperatures of this time of the year, but the heavy rain challenged work that is typically carried out during the period. The months of June and July were characterised by temperatures above the average, with sudden and fairly frequent storms. The situation improved towards the end of July and in August, when temperatures were milder, except for the last week of August, when the heat and sirocco affected our Merlot. September and October were characterised by temperatures above the average, which, however, enabled maturation to be perfected. Despite the atypical season, we were able to obtain quality grapes without quantitative losses, with homogene-ous and balanced maturations. Høst (producentens tekst, engelsk): We started with Cabernet Sauvignon, followed by Sangiovese, and lastly Petit Verdot at the end of September. Vinifikation (producentens tekst, engelsk): Separate fermentation of the different varieties, maceration for approximately 15 days. Ma- lo-lactic fermentation in concrete tanks. Lagring (producentens tekst, engelsk): Approximately 18 months in French barriques from manufacturers that were accurately se- lected for this wine. 60% new and 40% second passage. TASTING NOTES BY BERNARDINO SANI, CEO AND OENOLOGIST: Complex, fruity nose with hints of pepper and spices, well-integrated wood. Soft to the palate, fresh, and very versatile, with a flavourful finish.
