“Non Confunditur” Rosso Toscana IGT 2021
Rosso Non Confunditur from Argiano is made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. The wine opens with a dark ruby colour and aromas of wild berries, flowers and red berries. On the palate, it thankfully does not show the cloying heaviness or dense extraction found in many other protagonists of the Super Tuscan category. In fact, NC is accessible and fresh, rounded off with a good amount of crisp acidity and a well-proportioned body. SUPERIORE.DE
"Taut and straightforward in profile, this red offers blackcurrant, black cherry, vanilla and peppery spices. It tightens on the finish, where the chalky tannins linger." Wine Spectator
"Dark ruby red with violet glints. Compact nose, ripe plum, coffee and bitter chocolate. Powerful and juicy on the palate, builds up decent pressure, refreshing acidity and ripe tannins, medium-long final, slightly brittle on the finish." Falstaff

Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2020
Argiano's Rosso di Montalcino is a very beautiful and expressive wine. Dried herbs, flowers, mint, liquorice and sweet red cherries grace this attractive, medium-bodied Rosso. Medium-textured on the palate, with nice balance and clean notes of raspberries and candied violets. Accessible early on, it offers plenty of fun with its juicy overall impression through to a surprisingly long finish and is also an excellent food companion. SUPERIORE.DE
"Lots of crushed cherry, rocks and grilled herbs make the Rosso di Montalcino 2020 unmissable. It is silky and smooth, with a pleasant inner sweetness and lovely strawberry fruit. The 2020 Rosso di Montalcino lingers in the mouth with a light herbal note and an acidic hint of wild berries, but the final note is freshness. There is so much energy here." Vinous
"Bright ruby with a sparkling core and garnet red rim. On the nose of cherry compote, leather and a hint of dried rose petals. On the palate punchy, fresh and with lively acidity, fine-grained firm tannin, pulls through well with crisp fruit and some bitter almond." Falstaff

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2018
The Brunello from Argiano is a successful combination of tradition and modernity. The intense aroma is characterised by red fruits and oleander blossoms, with a moderate hint of wood in the background. The taste is beautifully powerful, equipped with a harmonious tannin and great staying power in the finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Very complex and spicy, clearly has more oomph on the nose, juicy grippy palate with redcurrant, cherry and pomegranate notes, smoky, distinct tannic grip, redcurrant, pomegranate, grippy tannin on the final." Weinwisser
"Bright, sparkling ruby red. Precise nose of raspberries, watermelon, sweet spices and liquorice, with subtle notes of citrus in the background. Clear and radiant on the palate, showing fine warm-hearted fruit." Falstaff
"The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino exudes a dark and balsamic blend of black cherries, worn leather and spicy herbs. Soft and supple on the palate, it gains tension from a mix of tart wild berries and nuances of sour citrus, while a hint of sage provides contrast towards the end. The finish is grippy and long, leaving a hint of primary concentration, while tarry redcurrants and a hint of graphite linger. The 2018 is currently tightly packed in its youthful state and needs cellaring to develop its charms." Vinous
"The black label 2018 Brunello di Montalcino shows aromas of dried fruit, cola, grilled herbs, candied orange peel and earthy tones. This is a medium-bodied Brunello with silky tannins and a long finish. It shows a savoury and spicy personality with hints of dried fruit and baked plums adding a fleeting touch of sweetness. This is an approachable Brunello to drink over the next 10 years." Wine Advocate
"Argiano is back on track with this 2018 Brunello at an excellent price. Packed with flavour, it shows the vintage well: while the colour is scarce - pale garnet - the aromas are vibrant and enticing with spiced cherry and Mediterranean flowers bursting from the glass. It is medium-bodied and fluid, betraying the warm southern exposure of the vineyards. The tannins are fine and layered, with a chalky texture. Although the winery has released its Vigna del Suolo selection, there will be no Riserva bottling for 2018." Decanter
"A bright and fresh 2018 with aromas and flavours of cherries and flowers. Medium body, refined tannins and a linear finish with bright acidity. Tangy and energetic. Taut at the end. Another year or two will open it up, but it's already a beauty." James Suckling
"Aromas and flavours of roses, strawberries and cherries are the main themes in this red wine, along with accents of wild herbs, minerals and cut hay. Racy and full of energy, with a long, lush finish." Wine Spectator

The grapes for the "Suolo" Brunello selection come from the vineyard of the same name and from the estate's oldest vines. They lie at an altitude of 320 metres on soils of clay-limestone marl rich in skeletons and fossils. It is the ideal terroir to fully express the character of the old Sangiovese Grosso clones and gives the wine an acidic, spicy profile. Only part of the vineyard parcels are used for this label. Long ageing in 15-hectolitre Allier oak barrels and a resting period in the bottle complete it and prepare it for the market and the challenge of time. Around 5,000 bottles are bottled only in the best vintages.
The wine announces itself with a deep ruby red colour and opens with a seductive bouquet in which ripe cherries and small fruits give way to more complex notes of tobacco, flowers and undergrowth, before fading into spice and citrus peel. The palate is broad, deep and crisp, supported by a rich acidic framework that carries intact fruit and tannins of spectacular finesse. Rich but not too dense, it is assertive, profound and elegant, with an exceptional vitality that promises glorious ageing. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, shiny ruby red colour with a delicately brightening rim. Expressive and clear on the nose of fresh wild strawberries, mint, precious wood, dried tomato, underpinned by light spice and maquis. On the palate with a polished entry and progression, builds up fleshy and juicy, with elegant pressure, profound and elegant, in the final on noble earthy notes, will mature excellently." Falstaff
"The Argiano 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna del Suolo (5,000 bottles) shows good fruit richness with cherry, dried raspberry and plum. The tannins are silky and fine, and the wine envelops the palate with a medium-weight texture and balanced freshness." Wine Advocate

Although the winery has released its Vigna del Suolo selection, there will be no Riserva bottling for 2018." Decanter
"The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna del Suolo is seductive and understated in the glass, showing musky blackcurrant flavours accompanied by hints of sage and clove. It is graceful and refined, yet enveloping, with bright acidity enlivening the red plums and ripe strawberries, while a hint of balsamic spice resonates. The 2018 finishes with grippy tension as the fine tannins penetrate deeply, leaving notes of dried cherry and lavender that slowly fade away. The Vigna del Suolo will need patience to fully unfold and develop its flavours. But it will be worth the wait. This is a beauty." Decanter
"A very fine and polished Brunello with fine, creamy tannins that are polished and very curated. Character of cherry and bark. Medium to full body with ripe tannins. Juicy. Orange peel flavours. Try it after 2025, but it's delicious now." James Suckling
"This supple, clean-lined red grabs your attention with a beam of cherry and blackcurrant flavours, while lacy tannins line the finish. It shows flavours of earth, menthol, white pepper and juicy red berries that are expressive and delicious. Super long finish." Wine Spectator
"An essential part of Ilcine history, a wine that is the result of Bernardino Sani's great zoning work. Multi-faceted on the nose, with notes of wild plum, pepper leaf and star anise. Exciting and flavoursome on the palate, with a fruity finish." Luca Gardini
"A sweet, floral nose welcomes you with a warm embrace of vanilla and cherry before an earthy savoriness surprises you with notes of soil, leather, sun-dried tomato and oregano. The tomatoes sweeten on the palate joined by cherries and chili heat before a saline finish. A wine that defines itself with fruit so alive you could take its pulse, and contoured, seductive tannins." Wine Enthusiast

The origins of the Argiano wine estate date back to the late 16th century, when the noble Pecci family from Siena had the magnificent Villa di Argiano with its adjoining wine cellar built on a hill with a picturesque view of the River Orca in the south-west of Montalcino.
Over the centuries, the estate has passed from one noble family to the next. Countess Noemi Marone Cinzano took over the historic estate in 1992. She had a clear goal in mind: to produce an extremely high-quality Brunello di Montalcino here. To allow this vision to mature, the businesswoman decided to hire the famous Tuscan wine expert Giacomo Tachis as Oenologist. Over time, the proud Brunello from Argiano was joined by the Super Tuscan Solengo - still a top product in its class today - and the single-varietal Sangiovese Suolo, which has also won many awards. In 2004, Hans Vinding-Diers took over from Tachis. Since this change of management, organic farming has been practised on the estate and modern wine processing techniques have been utilised. This laid another foundation stone for a bright future. In 2013, the ownership changed hands and Bernardino Sani, who has also been responsible for the production of the traditional winery's wines since 2015, took over the management of the company.
Since 2019, Argiano has been the first plastic-free company in Montalcino. All single-use plastic products have been eliminated. The inspiration for the winery's sustainable approach is the circular model, which begins with separate waste collection and also includes the reuse of agricultural waste such as green waste. In recent years, the winery, which was a founding member of the Brunello Consortium in 1967 along with other historic wineries in the region, has experienced good times. While the ancient cellars are still used today to store fine wines in the ageing phase, the winemaking facilities are now located in a cellar equipped with state-of-the-art technology that blends in perfectly with the landscape.
The hospitable Argiano winery, which also runs an agritourism business (Posta l'Orciaia), currently covers a total area of around 125 hectares with 51 hectares of vines spread over several denominations, as well as olive trees and woodland. The vineyards are almost all south-facing and have excellent ventilation. The vineyards are characterised by the chalky soils with clay deposits typical of the region. The density of vines is comparatively high at 7,000 plants per hectare. The estate cultivates the red grape varieties Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello), Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. SUPERIORE.DE
"We believe that the vine must not be moulded at will, but must be studied, understood, interpreted and respected; we believe that it must realise itself in order to tell of a place, a climate and a vintage. For us, this is an expression of good agriculture." Bernardino Sani and Francesco Monari
"This wonderful traditional estate has experienced a great renaissance in terms of style and quality in recent years." Gambero Rosso
