Note di degustazione
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. Drink 2026-2046.

With more than 500 years of documented winemaking history (with a villa and cellars dating back to 1580), Argiano is one of the oldest and most important estates in Montalcino. The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino shows consistency and a velvety texture with blackberry and blackcurrant. There is good freshness here, and the wine is a rather lean in terms of mouthfeel. This is a more accessible wine, with a release of 130,000 bottles.
The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is dark and intense, with a smoldering bouquet of ashen stones, grilled herbs and dried black cherries. It is surprisingly energetic and lifted in feel, with racy red berry fruits and rosy inner florals that form a truly satisfying experience. The 2021 is pleasantly chewy and long, leaving a coating of fine-grained tannins and a nuance of tart blackberry.
Mid ruby. Herb notes and balsamic cherry fruit on the nose and still not fully open. Supple and with lots of acidity and fine fragrant fruit that could do with a tiny bit more concentration but the finish is long and wired and with fine chewy tannins. (WS)
