NC- 2019 Argiano Brunello di Montalcino

The flagship wine of Argiano, the Brunello di Montalcino 2019, exemplifies precision and finesse. As one of the founding members of the Brunello Consortium—established in 1967 to protect and promote the quality of Brunello di Montalcino—Argiano has mastered the art of crafting this iconic wine. The 2019 vintage is medium-bodied and bold, opening with enticing aromas of ripe dark berries, white flowers, and Mediterranean spices. On the palate, flavors of stewed black cherry, licorice, plum, tobacco, and a touch of oak are seamlessly integrated with firm yet velvety tannins. While the wine is approachable now, it has the structure and complexity to age gracefully, allowing its energized tannins and dense flavors to evolve further. Whether savored today or in the years to come, this Brunello pairs beautifully with hearty stews, aged blue cheese, or red meat in a rich mushroom sauce.

"This is packed with ripe cherry, plum and raspberry fruit, with floral, mineral, juniper and wild herb accents adding depth and complexity. There's plenty of energy and structure as well, providing excellent balance, with a long aftertaste. Best from 2027 through 2045."
-Wine Spectator, 95 Points

"Delightful aromas of juicy red cherries, strawberries, rose petals and wild bush, together with hints of juniper and ground herbs. Medium-bodied with firm tannins and crisp acidity. Zesty and piquant with beautiful balance and finish. Plenty of fruit at the end. Give it more time to come around. Try after 2027."
-James Suckling, 95 Points
