The Argiano 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is rich and generous with lots of dark cherry, blackberry and plum. The wine presents an enhanced savory side with spice, Spanish cedar and a hint of smoked rosemary. This classic vintage is known for its balance, showing both elegance and power. This bottle from Argiano is a great example of precisely that. The finish is long and savory with smoke and earthy tones. A mere 1,290 bottles were produced, and sadly, the Riserva is not exported to the United States market.

A delicate style, this red evokes strawberry, currant and cherry fruit, shaded by mineral and wild herbs. Approachable now, but will continue to improve over the next decade. Fine balance and length. Best from 2024 through 2042. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 100 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
