Why shop with us?
Argiano Brunello di Montalcino 2020 is a beautifully composed Sangiovese from one of Brunello’s most respected names, offering the kind of elegance and depth that has made the appellation famous worldwide. Built from fruit grown across six parcels and raised in a traditional style, it combines precision, power, and a strong sense of place.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows the classic ruby-garnet hue expected of fine Brunello, with a bright, transparent core that hints at freshness and structure. The nose is layered and refined, opening with rose petals, ripe strawberry, sour cherry, wild herbs, and a mineral note that gives the wine a cool, stony edge.
On the palate, it is elegant yet authoritative, with firm but polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, savory finish. Flavors of cherry, red berry fruit, dried herbs, and earthy spice unfold gradually, giving the wine both immediate appeal and excellent aging potential. This is a Brunello that should continue to develop beautifully over many years.
Production
Argiano’s Brunello comes from six carefully selected parcels in the Montalcino area, where Tuscany’s warm days, cool nights, and varied soils help Sangiovese achieve both ripeness and freshness. The grapes are harvested by hand to preserve fruit integrity and ensure only the best clusters are selected. Fermentation is followed by extended aging for around 3.5 years in large casks, a traditional approach that preserves purity of fruit and emphasizes structure, balance, and terroir expression.
Food & Serving
This Brunello is an excellent match for rich Tuscan dishes such as pappardelle with wild boar ragù, slow-braised beef, roast lamb, game, and mature hard cheeses like Pecorino. Serve it at 16–18°C, and decant for at least an hour if enjoying it young, as this will help the aromas open and soften the tannins.
Producer
Argiano is one of Montalcino’s historic estates, long regarded as a benchmark producer in Brunello. In recent years, the winery has earned widespread acclaim for its thoughtful return to more traditional winemaking methods, pairing heritage with modern precision. Its strong critical reputation, including major recognition from Wine Spectator, has further cemented Argiano’s place among the leading names in the region.
