The 2002 harvest was certainly not the easiest climate and trend led us to perform continuous checks on the vine and a selection of grapes far more severe than in favorable years. After a promising spring and an early summer with high temperatures, July and August were marked by persistent rain. During the harvest, a brief sunny period still allowed to collect healthy and mature grapes. The quantities of grapes were very low compared to other vintages, but quality should not be underestimated.
Solengo is the expression of viticulture ARGIANO beyond the Brunello. The wine-growing area of the Estate of Argiano is truly magical in terms of climate and soil conditions and thus ecosystem. We tried to plant grape varieties that are not part of the tradition of Montalcino wine: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah.
The grapes were vinified separately. The maceration was 16 days for the Cabernet Sauvignon, 14 days for Merlot and Syrah for 12 days. The malolactic were easy and fast. Finally, we constructed a “vinaggio” with equal proportions among these three qualities of wine.
The wine aging in wood began in late January where he improved his balance polyphenols for fourteen months in new barrels of the best tonnellerie French. Without being filtered, but for simple decanting, the wine is bottled in the past, for the completion of the bouquet.
