Description
This is always one of the top values from Monatalcino but the 2016 is something special. This is certainly the best Argiano we have tried and price is still terrific. It’s one of the top wines of the vintage but it’s certainly not priced that way.
“A cool mineral tone runs through this wine like a silver streak, energizing the vivid red- and black- cherry flavors and trailing notes of licorice, tarragon and subtle black spice. Despite the warm and dry 2017 vintage, the wine’s aromatics are precise and lifted, revealing scents of rose petal and violet with exposure to air. The flavors gain energy over several days while maintaining that firm minerality that makes this wine so appealing.” – Wine & Spirits Magazine
Argiano’s Brunello di Montalcino is distinguished by its elegance and deep ruby red colour. It presents a good concentration on the mid-palate and a persistent aftertaste, with a rounded and voluptuous body and interesting silky tannins. With its tempting perfumes of red berries and its clean freshness, the complexity of this wine presents an excellent balance. To fully appreciate its qualities, decant the wine at least one hour before serving.
