Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the shelf life of this format?
Thanks to its Magnum volume, the 2020 Solengo can be perfectly cellared for the next 20 to 30 years if kept under optimal temperature and humidity conditions.
What makes it different from a Brunello from the same winery?
While Brunello is pure tradition (100% Sangiovese), Solengo is innovation. By using French grapes, Argiano creates a darker, more powerful wine with a tannin structure more similar to the great wines of Bordeaux.
Does it come in a case?
Yes, the Magnum format is usually delivered in its original wooden box from the Argiano winery, making it the ultimate gift for wine enthusiasts.
