The 1999 Brunello di Montalcino is a beautifully matured expression that captures both the classicism of the vintage and Argiano’s refined, terroir-driven approach. Aromatically, it unfolds with layers of dried cherry, cranberry, rose petal, leather, and sweet tobacco, intertwined with hints of forest floor, cedar, and soft spice. On the palate, the wine is graceful yet still vibrant, offering a silky texture balanced by lively acidity and finely resolved tannins that speak to its careful aging. Notes of red berry compote, savory herbs, earthy minerality, and a gentle balsamic echo build toward a lingering, quietly powerful finish. At this stage of evolution, the wine shows remarkable balance and nuance, making it an exceptional example of how well Argiano ages in a strong, traditional Brunello year.

Argiano is one of Montalcino’s most historic and character-defining estates, with origins dating back to the late Renaissance and a philosophy that blends deep tradition with measured modernity. Located in the southern sector of the appellation, its vineyards benefit from warm exposures, cooling maritime breezes, and soils rich in clay, limestone, and ancient marine deposits—conditions that give Sangiovese both structure and expressive aromatic lift. Over the years, Argiano has refined a style rooted in authenticity, purity of fruit, and understated elegance, producing wines that reflect a profound sense of place rather than stylistic excess. Its commitment to sustainable farming and meticulous cellar work has solidified its reputation as a benchmark estate in Brunello, consistently admired for crafting wines of harmony, depth, and longevity.
