Cellar for up to 30 years. No need to decant, may benefit from airing in the glass for 30 minutes. Argiano is one of the Montalcino region's most prestigious estates, producing wine for over four centuries. Naturally, it has passed through many owners in that time, before finding itself in the capable hands of Bernardino Sani, who has signed off on the wines since 2015. This level of prestige does not come without responsibility. Argiano maintains a strong respect for nature, allowing the land to express itself through the fruit. The estate practices fully organic methods and became the first Montalcino company to go entirely plastic-free, in 2019. Argiano have racked up countless awards, most notably, in recent years, for its Brunellos. Broad and flavourful yet focused, complex yet still elegant, this Brunello di Montalcino is born from the best tracts of Sangiovese in Argiano, some of which are up to 55 years old. Woodland berries and rich red fruit come to the front, with hints of oak, leather, and the subtle zip of menthol. Tannins are well-rounded, yet provide a backbone of acidity. This dry vintage has received multiple 90+ ratings from top critics and is excellent for aging. Best enjoyed with some heavy gamey meat or a potent cheese.
