Argiano is one of Montalcino's great revival stories. Following more than $10 million in investment over a decade and a commitment to a return to a more traditional expression of Brunello, the estate earned Wine Spectator's Wine of the Year for its 2018 vintage — and the 2021 carries that momentum forward into what is shaping up as one of the decade's finest Brunello vintages. 

James Suckling describes the 2021 Brunello vintage as having an "almost old-fashioned charm, with fresh, graceful aromatics recalling balanced classics of the past" — and recommends buying across the board. Argiano's 2021 exemplifies this: lavender, dark spice, Mediterranean scrub, wild berry, pipe tobacco, and new leather on the nose, with layers of black cherry compote, juniper berry, licorice, cocoa, and blood orange on the palate, backed by fine-grained, well-integrated tannins and fresh acidity

96 Points
"This is dense and full of cherry, raspberry, earth, iron and tobacco flavors. A broad base of sinewy tannins lends support, while the lively acidity drives the long aftertaste of red fruit. All of the components are there; this just needs time. Best from 2029 through 2047. 10,830 cases made, 2,992 cases imported."
