Wine Profile
Argiano is one of the oldest estates with a history dating back to 1580. With the acquisition of the estate in 2013 by Andrè Santos Esteves, a Brazilian entrepreneur, we have witnessed a true renaissance of the company. Even in the 1980s, thanks to the efforts of Noemi Marone Cinzano and the renowned oenologist Giacomo Tachis, Argiano was already among the most prestigious estates. The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino boasts elegant fruity notes on the nose, standing out against a background of balsamic and spicy undertones. A dense and silky sip, structured by well-integrated tannins, and a lingering finish define a complex and enveloping palate.
