The 2001 Brunello di Montalcino captures the elegance and classical structure of one of the vintage’s standout years, offering a beautifully balanced expression of Argiano’s terroir-focused style. Aromas of dried cherry, redcurrant, rose petals, tobacco, and subtle underbrush rise gracefully from the glass, supported by hints of cedar and warm spice. On the palate, the wine displays firm yet refined tannins, vibrant acidity, and a layered profile of red berry fruit, savory herbs, earthy minerality, and a touch of balsamic warmth. The structure remains lively and precise, giving the wine both immediate charm and continuing longevity. Now fully mature but still energetic, the 2001 shows the harmony, depth, and quiet power that define Argiano in a top Brunello year.

Argiano remains one of Montalcino’s most emblematic estates, a historic property whose roots stretch back centuries and whose style reflects a seamless blend of Tuscan tradition and measured innovation. Nestled in the southern part of the appellation, its vineyards benefit from warm exposures, maritime breezes, and soils composed of clay, limestone, and ancient marine deposits—conditions that give Sangiovese both depth and aromatic precision. The estate’s commitment to sustainable farming, meticulous vineyard care, and a restrained cellar philosophy yields wines that emphasize purity, balance, and a refined expression of place. Over time, Argiano has earned a reputation for crafting Brunello that marries approachability with aging potential, consistently standing among the region’s benchmark producers.
