Argiano’s Brunello di Montalcino 2020 is a poised and expressive rendition of Sangiovese, capturing the elegance and power of Montalcino’s terroir. The nose opens with vibrant red cherry, wild strawberry, and dried rose, layered with notes of cedar, tobacco, and crushed Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, fine-grained tannins provide structure to a core of ripe red fruit, blood orange, and earthy spice, all carried by lively acidity. A refined mineral edge leads into a long, resonant finish with hints of leather, anise, and balsamic depth. A beautifully balanced Brunello with the potential to evolve gracefully over time.
