Long occupying one of Tuscany's most scenic sites, Argiano's Brunello is always one of the absolute stars of the south in Montalcino, no doubt partly due to the prevalence of the mineral-rich marl in its clay limestone soil, also found in the hill of Montosoli further north (the region's true "Grand Cru" according to Vinous' Eric Guido), lending the wines added finesse & complexity which sets them apart from their neighbours. There is always extra lift and freshness in the wines thanks to the cooling influence of the Mediterranean.
This is one of the best value Brunellos around, so much so that it won Wine Spectator's Wine of the Year in 2023!
What the critics say:
"Delightful aromas of juicy red cherries, strawberries, rose petals and wild bush, together with hints of juniper and ground herbs. Medium-bodied with firm tannins and crisp acidity. Zesty and piquant with beautiful balance and finish. Plenty of fruit at the end. Give it more time to come around. Try after 2027."
"Crushed ashen stones, cloves, dried black cherries, rosemary and balsam herbs create a spice box display as the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino blossoms in the glass. This is surprisingly fresh and energetic, nearly juicy in character, yet refined and focused, with silken textures ushering in crisp wild berry fruits and orange tones that slowly saturate the palate. It finishes spicy and long, yet its energy never wavers, with grippy tannins that tug at the cheeks as licorice and cranberry notes fade."
