2020 Argiano Brunello di Montalcino
The winery’s benchmark expression, with an elegance that showcases Argiano’s unique terroir. 100% Sangiovese from marl and limestone soils. Estate grown. Organic. 270-320m asl. Aged in 10-50 hectoliter barrels for more than two years.
Vintage notes from the winemaker: Hot winter, infrequent rainfall, but sufficient for water requirements. June and July were perfect, characterised by some rain and a beautiful temperature range. The end of July and the beginning of August were very hot weeks, with the vineyards reacting very well without going into water stress. A rainfall at the end of the summer allowed for a gradual and homogeneous ripening.
Wine Spectator (94 pts)
"Offering rose, red berry and earth aromas, this perfumed red adds to its flavor profile with iron and tobacco notes. Complex and balanced, with lively acidity and an edge of chalky tannins on the long aftertaste. Shows terrific intensity and freshness."
