Argiano Rosso di Montalcino 2024
Argiano is one of Montalcino's most storied and prestigious estates, its roots intertwined with the very history of the appellation. Perched atop a plateau at approximately 350 meters above sea level on the southwestern slope of Montalcino, the estate sits on ancient calcareous marl soils formed some 25 million years ago — a geological legacy that imparts remarkable minerality and aging potential to its wines. Today, guided by a passionate team, Argiano blends deep traditional knowledge with a forward-looking commitment to identity, innovation, and sustainability.
The Rosso di Montalcino is Argiano's entry point into the world of Brunello — and a compelling one at that. Sourced from the estate's younger Sangiovese vines and select plots, it offers the hallmark character of the appellation in a more approachable, earlier-drinking style. The 2024 vintage showcases the energy and freshness that define great Rosso: vibrant acidity, crunchy red fruit, and the mineral backbone that only Montalcino's marl-rich soils can deliver.
Bright ruby in the glass, the wine opens with pristine aromas of red cherries, red currants, minty herbs, and fragrant violets, with nuances of wet stone and blackberry. On the palate, it is round and soothing with crisp, brilliant acidity, chewy tannins, and a crunchy, energetic style. The finish is long, with a subtle black fruit saturation and a sense of effortless vitality.
