Argiano Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2022
(Tuscany, Italy)

Notes from the Winemaker:
Rosso di Montalcino is deep ruby red in color. It is medium bodied with a good concentration on the mid-palate. Elegant in the mouth, it is well balanced with tempting flavors of red berries, violets, menthol and earthiness. A generous wine with smooth, velvety tannins that will satisfy all Sangiovese lovers. The perfect companion at mealtimes, it is ideal paired with red meat, veal, bruschetta and all kinds of cheeses and pasta dishes.

Vinification:
Rosso di Montalcino is made from 100% Sangiovese grapes. The grapes are vinified in stainless steel tanks, with the must fermenting in contact with the skins for about two weeks, extending this time to three weeks if the grapes come from the best vineyards, in order to obtain the best possible concentration. Rosso di Montalcino undergoes a second fermentation(like all red wines), which makes it smoother. It then ages in French oak barriques which have already been used once beforE and in larger Slavonian oak barrels until bottling time the following autumn. Argiano's oenologist describes our Rosso di Montalcino as fresh, vivacious and full of “easy to taste" but generous fruity flavours that are sufficiently versatile to develop greater depth over the years spent in the bottle.

Ratings & Reviews

91 Points - Wine Advocate (2021 Vintage):

"The Argiano 2021 Rosso di Montalcino shows raspberry tart and strawberry shortbread on first nose. This is a simple but elegant wine that gives you exactly what you want from a Rosso with an exceptionally easy-drinking style. Aged briefly in cement and large oak casks, there is iris flower, almond and forest berry backed by fine, chalky tannins." - Monica Larner (December 2023)
