2019 Argiano Rosso di Montalcino
Dark red core with subtle tinges of black to the edges and a red to brick red hue. Spicy red currant aromas mix with hints of red cherry, earthy tobacco and dried herb notes. Savoury and mid weighted the palate features good generosity of fruit with red currant and red cherry flavours leading the charge. Dusty earth, dried herb, tobacco and spicy cedar characters ensue. Dry, slightly chalky tannins with vibrant acidity and an attractive medium to long red fruited conclusion.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.

Other Reviews….
The Argiano 2019 Rosso di Montalcino shows the slightly darker color and richer concentration that is characteristic of wines from this vintage. The pretty Rosso offers good depth and width, qualities obviously rendered to the palate, with rich blackberry and dark cherry flavors. On the intensity continuum that sees Rosso on one side and Brunello on the other, this wine actually clocks in closer to the Brunello side of the spectrum. That makes this an especially interesting wine for those looking for Sangiovese power at an attractive value price tag. The wine ages in French oak casks for a few quick months. Drink 2022-2025.
