The Brunello di Montalcino 2018 is a graceful and classically styled expression from a cooler, more elegant vintage. The nose reveals red cherry, cranberry, rose petal, and subtle herbal notes, accented by hints of spice and earthy minerality. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with bright acidity and refined tannins providing lift and definition. Flavors of sour plum, red currant, and savory earth unfold with clarity and finesse. The texture is supple yet structured, emphasizing balance over power. The finish is long, fresh, and delicately persistent—an elegant Brunello that highlights vintage purity and Argiano’s commitment to precision.

Argiano is one of Montalcino’s historic estates, founded in the 16th century and revitalized in recent decades with a strong focus on sustainability and precision viticulture. Located in the southwestern sector of the appellation, Argiano benefits from a mix of marl, clay, and limestone soils that lend structure and aromatic clarity to Sangiovese. The estate farms organically and emphasizes careful vineyard zoning to capture site expression. In the cellar, extraction is measured and oak aging is balanced between large casks and carefully selected barrels. Argiano’s style favors elegance, energy, and longevity over overt power. The estate has reestablished itself as a benchmark for refined, terroir-driven Brunello.
