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. Production is 51,000 bottles.

This red evokes sour cherry, almond, sanguine and underbrush flavors. Solid and on the rustic side yet stays balanced and moderately long. Drink now through 2025. 5,000 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Rosso di Montalcino Select to Add
