Argiano Rosso di Montalcino 2022

Cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant before serving.

Argiano is a pillar of the Montalcino region, producing top-tier wine and amassing awards for well over four centuries. Under the guidance of Bernardino Sani, who took over in 2015, the estate maintains a healthy relationship with the surrounding limestone-rich land. Argiano abide by fully organic and sustainable methods. They believe that the vine, in this case, the Sangiovese, should be allowed to express itself with minimal intervention.

A complex bouquet of tart raspberries and red cherries bursts from this bottle, with notes of violet and menthol. Being made from 100% Sangiovese grape, otherwise known as “Jupiter's blood”, Rosso often finds itself likened to a younger brother of Brunello. Argiano are quick to dispel that myth - through their caring approach to the Tuscan land, the estate has discovered that some soils are simply better suited to the versatile Rosso.

This Rosso di Montalcino combines structure with breathtaking freshness. It is lighter-bodied than the Brunello, with velvety tannins and a soft yet concentrated finish that lingers in the mouth. This is a very enjoyable vintage and can be paired with a wide variety of food. Worthy of some aging, as it will become even softer and perfectly suited for pork.
