The first sip of Argiano Brunello di Montalcino 750ml envelops your senses with a rush of ripe cherry, wild herbs, and subtle tobacco, instantly transporting you to the sun-drenched hillsides of Tuscany. Crafted exclusively from Sangiovese grapes in Italy, this wine’s 14.50% ABV supports its full-bodied structure while allowing layers of dried fig, leather, and earthy spice to unfold gracefully on the palate. Its elegant tannins and vibrant acidity make it a perfect companion for roasted lamb or a generous wedge of aged Parmesan, elevating every bite with its complex depth and lingering finish.
Producer Information: Argiano
Argiano, rooted in the heart of Montalcino in Tuscany, traces its origins to the late Renaissance when the noble Pecci family established the estate in 1580. The historic villa and surrounding vineyards have long benefited from their prime location on a hilltop with optimal sun exposure and well-drained soils, fostering ideal conditions for Sangiovese grapes. Argiano’s philosophy centers on sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention winemaking, allowing terroir-driven expressions to shine through each bottle. Beyond their celebrated Brunello di Montalcino, Argiano crafts Rosso di Montalcino and Suolo—an old-vine Sangiovese—alongside Solengo, a bold Super Tuscan blend that highlights international varieties grown on their estate. Their commitment to organic practices and traditional aging methods cements Argiano’s status as a benchmark producer within Tuscany’s prestigious wine landscape.

Very floral on the nose with plums, rose petals and freshly sliced porcini mushrooms. The palate is tight and compressed with beautiful ripe fruit, wet earth and cool, stone flavors. A structured and impressive wine. Drink after 2022.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This is a terrific wine and one of the new releases from Montalcino that I happily include on a short list of top recommendations. The Argiano 2015 Brunello di Montalcino shows a very lively bouquet that is already singing despite the young age of this new release. The wine opens to a dark ruby color with garnet highlights. The bouquet shows a large span of wild berry, earth, licorice spice and medicinal herb aromas. This vintage also reveals a pretty floral character with dried rose potpourri and lavender buds. After fermentation, the wine is aged slowly for 30 months in large oak botte (including 10-, 30- and 50-hectoliter capacity), thus restricting oxygen and gently slowing its evolution. However, the 2015 vintage is naturally expressive and exuberant, and that's the main takeaway here. Some 100,000 bottles were filled in May 2019, and the wine hits the market in February 2020.Rating:95+

Wine Spectator
Focused cherry and plum flavors mark this rich red, with a hint of orange peel. Flashes of earth, leather and iron lend complexity, while the firm structure adds grip. Exhibits fine balance and length. Given the fruit, this should be approachable soon. Best from 2022 through 2037.

Vinous
The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino shows dusty black cherry, complemented by sweet spices and herbs, as hints of dried orange, leather and dusty earth that forward. On the palate, I find velvety textures, ushering in ripe red and black fruits; yet there’s a wonderful balance here, as the wine is lifted by brisk acids, and a mix of savory, spice and minerals notes. The finish is long and structured, buzzing with mouthwatering acid and spice, as dried cherry lingers amidst a coating of youthful tannin. The 2015 Argiano is just a baby, slowly shaking off the wood it was aged in, and it is perfectly balanced. Drinking window: 2022 - 2030.
Brunello is a prestigious red wine made exclusively from the Sangiovese Grosso grape variety, primarily produced in the Montalcino area of Tuscany, Italy. Known for its full-bodied character and complex flavor profile, Brunello typically exhibits notes of cherry, plum, dried fruit, leather, and tobacco, complemented by earthy undertones that enhance its depth.
This wine is characterized by its rich aromas of red berries and floral hints like violet, alongside spices such as cinnamon and herbal nuances from thyme. With a robust tannic structure and a smooth finish, Brunello pairs beautifully with grilled meats, rich pasta dishes like ragù, aged cheeses, and game dishes. Often reserved for special occasions or fine dining experiences, it benefits from extended aging in large oak barrels or smaller French barriques before release.
