Argiano Brunello di Montalcino DOCG,Tuscany, Italy 2021
Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2021 is a refined, terroir-driven expression of Sangiovese from one of Montalcino’s most historic estates. Sourced from organically farmed vineyards, it shows a balance of purity and structure, with layered notes of cherry, blackberry, orange blossom, and subtle spice, supported by firm yet silky tannins and vibrant acidity. The 2021 vintage stands out for its energy and precision medium to full bodied, with a polished, mineral-driven finish making it both approachable with air and well-suited for long-term aging.
"Displaying a bright, transparent red color and coming mostly from oceanic soils of the property, the 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino is highly appealing on opening, with notes of red cherries, cranberries, orange peel, fennel, and fresh herbs. It brings great energy and focus to the palate, with a medium-bodied frame, and it resonates with a refreshing spine of acidity, well-defined, angular tannins, and wonderful length. A fabulous wine, it will be worth it to stash a few bottles away." Jeb Dunnuck 94
