Argiano Brunello di Montalcino 2021

Argiano Brunello di Montalcino 2021 is a classic expression of Sangiovese from one of Montalcino’s most historic estates. Combining elegance, structure, and a deep sense of place, it reflects both the noble tradition of Brunello and Argiano’s forward-thinking commitment to organic and regenerative farming.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows the poised, luminous depth typical of great Brunello, with a vivid ruby core that will gain garnet nuances with age. The bouquet is layered and refined, offering dark cherry, dried rose, wild herbs, and subtle spice, with hints of earth, leather, and well-integrated oak. On the palate, it is structured yet graceful, with bright acidity, firm tannins, and a long, persistent finish that balances red fruit, savory notes, and mineral tension. This is a wine built for the cellar and should develop beautifully over the next 10–20 years, gaining complexity and softness over time.

Production
The grapes come from Argiano’s vineyards in Sant’Angelo in Colle, around 300 meters above sea level, where a mild climate and carefully managed organic viticulture help preserve vine health and encourage slow, even ripening. The estate works with regenerative and environmentally conscious farming, supporting biodiversity through organic soil care and a strong sustainability ethos. Winemaking begins with spontaneous fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for about 15 days. The wine then matures for approximately 30 months, spending its first year in French oak barriques and tonneaux to build structure, followed by larger Slavonian oak casks for balance and refinement, before resting in concrete tanks ahead of bottling.

Food & Serving
This Brunello is an excellent match for rich Tuscan cuisine, including bistecca alla fiorentina, braised beef, game, wild mushroom dishes, and aged cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for at least 1–2 hours when young to allow the wine to open fully and show its aromatic depth.

Producer
Founded in 1580, Argiano is one of Montalcino’s historic estates and has long been associated with some of the region’s most distinguished wines. The property has earned recognition over centuries, including a gold medal at the 1932 Brussels Food Fair, and was even referenced by Giosuè Carducci, underscoring its cultural importance in Italian wine history. Today, Argiano is especially notable for its leadership in sustainability, becoming the first plastic-free company in Montalcino and embracing the 4 Rs: reduce, recover, recycle, and reuse.
