ARGIANO
Brunello di Montalcino 2021
- 94 points -
Winemaker Bernardino Sani estimates a 30% loss due to frost in 2021, saying that this concentrated everything – acid, tannins and flavours. To temper and harmonise this Brunello, he gave it six months longer in wood than the past few vintages. While still shy just after bottling, it was exploding with rose, mint blossom, pepper and rosemary a few months later. Round in shape yet light and bright on its feet, the flavours are full and pure. Raspberry, juicy plum and nectarine intertwine with those sweet herbs, while smooth tannins caress. Deliciously mouthstaining.
