Argiano

Argiano, Montalcino –
Sangiovese from the heart of the Brunello zone
Argiano lies on the hills south of Montalcino , where the red Galestro soil and the continental climate of the Crete Senesi bring the Sangiovese Grosso to full ripeness. The winery boasts a history dating back to the 16th century – yet nothing here feels like a museum piece: since the change of ownership in the early 2000s, there has been consistent investment in the vineyard and cellar, without losing sight of the wine's origins.
In the vineyard, Argiano cultivates low yields and long growing seasons. The Sangiovese vines root deeply in weathered limestone and clay, giving the wines their characteristic tension between fruit and minerality. In the cellar, the Brunello vintages mature in large Slavonian oak barrels, which shape the fruit without masking it. What comes out in the glass reveals dark cherry, dried herbs, a hint of tobacco, and a long, earthy finish.
In addition to the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Argiano produces the "Non Confunditur," a Super Tuscan made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah – a wine that demonstrates how far the terroir of Montalcino extends beyond the Sangiovese grape. Both lines pair well with braised meats, aged Pecorino cheese, or a quiet evening with a good book.
