WINE SPECTATOR INSIDER "HOT WINES" 98 POINTS - "Iron, mineral and wild herb aromas and flavors frame the cherry and raspberry fruit in this sleek, racy red, which is harmonious and full of energy, with a long aftertaste driven by the firm structure and bracing acidity, as well as flint and stone elements. This is special. Best from 2027 through 2043. 430 cases made, 99 cases imported."
Made from Argiano's oldest vineyard and made only in top vintages, this is their magnum opus! Since new owners took over in 2013, the wine is better than ever, with fermentations only in concrete vessels and aging one year in 1200L oval-shaped French oak casks and a second year in the more traditional Slavonian oak vats. The marly soils and warmer, drier climate around their home in Sant'Angelo in Colle (in the south of the Montalcino zone) provides the ingredients for a powerful style of Sangiovese. They take full advantage of this by gently extracting layers of flavors and textures that take time to unravel, with a bit of polish and woodsy spice from the oak aging.
