The profound 1997 Solengo vino da tavola (a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon with a tiny dosage of Syrah) is spectacular. Opaque purple-colored, it displays a fabulously sweet nose of creme de cassis, new saddle leather, toasty new oak, licorice, and flowers. This wine boasts amazing richness, a huge, full-bodied impact on the palate (yet no sense of heaviness), low acidity, gorgeous ripeness, and a finish that lasts for 35+ seconds. I predict a brilliant future for this compelling proprietary red wine.
Dark ruby red. Aromas of plum, milk chocolate and mandarin peel. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and lots of ripe fruit. Long and rich. Balanced and silky. Beautifully proportioned.--1997 Italian blind retrospective.
