The Brunello di Montalcino 2021 is a vibrant and beautifully proportioned expression from a highly promising vintage marked by balance and aromatic purity. The nose reveals red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, and subtle herbal notes, layered with hints of spice and mineral nuance. On the palate, the wine is medium- to full-bodied, with finely grained tannins and bright acidity providing lift and precision. Flavors of sour plum, cranberry, and savory earth unfold gradually with clarity and depth. The texture is poised and energetic, emphasizing finesse over weight. The finish is long, fresh, and distinctly Tuscan—an elegant, age-worthy Brunello that combines youthful vibrancy with serious structure.
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.
