Rosso di Montalcino is considered the younger sibling of Brunello. Also made from 100% Sangiovese, it is another expression of Brunello’s denomination. Argiano’s Rosso di Montalcino is of noble pedigree and originates from the 30 hectare Sangiovese vineyards surrounding the winery. The variety is Sangiovese grosso, a selected clone perfectly adapted to Argiano’s terroir. It undergoes the same care as its elder counterpart from the management of the vineyard to the bottling.
Incomparable to the rest of this 10 years of Rosso di Montalcino flight. Raw, emotion-filled and aromatic of florals, wood spice and new fabric scents. Complexity abounds with an almost graphite-creosote-fresh tobacco trilogy, unresolved, staid and secure. Truth of the sensation is pure Argiano, chewy, leathery, rich and yet clear, transparent and open-knit. Should get really interesting in three to four years.

Masses of crushed cherries, ashen stone and grilled herbs make the 2020 Rosso di Montalcino impossible to ignore. This is a silky and pliant effort with a pleasant inner sweetness and pretty strawberry fruits. The 2020 lingers with a slight herbal tinge and a tart twang of wild berries, yet the endnote is freshness. There's so much energy here.
