Argiano’s Suolo is a selection of the estate’s finest Sangiovese that is aged in small French oak barrels. The 2007 reveals gorgeous density and richness in a finely-knit fabric of red berries, flowers and French oak. Darker notes of smoke and licorice emerge over time adding further complexity. This fleshy, extroverted Sangiovese should drink beautifully for at least another decade. Though approachable today, readers (especially those who are sensitive to oak) will want to cellar this for a few years. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel.
