Argiano Solengo is a modern, well-balanced and full-bodied wine. It is deep, dark purple in color with a bouquet of ripe fruit, such as black currants 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 enjoyed while young, yet it also has a remarkable aging capacity. From Italy, IGT Toscana.
This wine’s initials, NC, are often thought to refer to Noemi Cinzano, Argiano’s longstanding owner. However, Non Confunditur is a Latin term meaning “do not be mistaken”- This is the motto of the Lovatelli family, written on the family crest which appears on the label. This wine is not to be mistaken for any of Argiano’s other wines which exclusively use either Tuscan or French varietals. NC, in contrast, is a unique marriage of both. It is a great example of how a red wine can retain a lovely freshness while expressing the toasty flavors of restrained oak aging.
