The 2021 Argiano Brunello di Montalcino Vigna del Suolo is a prestigious Italian red wine from Montalcino in Tuscany, produced by the historic Argiano estate. Crafted entirely from Sangiovese, this single-vineyard Brunello reflects the distinctive character of the Vigna del Suolo vineyard, renowned for producing wines of elegance, concentration and complexity. Its anticipated aromas reveal ripe red cherry, wild raspberry and dark plum, complemented by notes of dried rose petals, tobacco, liquorice and subtle earthy spice.
On the palate, it is expected to be full-bodied with finely structured tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavours of ripe cherry, red plum and blackberry unfold alongside hints of dried herbs, cedar and gentle oak spice. Its concentrated fruit character is balanced by savoury depth and refined structure, leading to a long, persistent finish with lingering red berries, mineral notes and polished tannins.
