ARGIANO
Rosso di Montalcino 2023
- 90 points -
Translucent ruby in color, the 2023 Rosso Di Montalcino is pretty and inviting with a floral bouquet that offers notes of crushed strawberries, roses, and sweet herbs. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegant but also has a light gamey richness underneath, with ripe tannins, a chalky (almost liver-like texture), and a clean finish. The acidity is more modest in this charming, easygoing wine.
