Argiano Brunello di Montalcino Red 2018

The Wine Advocate : The Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso is a single-vineyard expression, harvested from a 11.7-hectare plot of moderately thick galestro soils rich in ancient marine material. This special site, bathed in the bright light of a wide, open sky, provides a more pronounced mineral signature, with essences of wild red fruits, roses and rosemary. This is a beautiful, firm and silky wine, with elegant tannins that will withstand ambitious bottle aging. Production is 37,000 bottles.

James Suckling : There’s plenty of complexity here, with black plums, ripe cherries, cedar, smoke and cocoa on the nose. Notes of ash, chocolate, crushed nuts and a touch of praline. Mushrooms. Firm, ripe tannins and a full body. A tasty, juicy finish. Very structured. Drink from 2025.
