Territory and wine style

The Rosso di Montalcino DOC comes from plots located between 280 and 310 meters above sea level, on more alluvial soils with traces of calcareous marls. This combination contributes to giving the wine momentum, finesse, and a distinct savory imprint. Argiano carefully selects the Sangiovese to enhance its fruity side and natural freshness, achieving a direct yet not simplistic style that can express the brightest face of Montalcino with balance.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a lively ruby red color. On the nose, notes of cherry, red berries, and hints of Mediterranean scrub emerge, accompanied by a very distinctive salinity sensation. On the palate, the wine is fresh, smooth, and precise, with a clean and immediate sip. The tannins are integrated and well-measured, while the savoriness supports the taste progression and lengthens the finish. The overall result is a harmonious, fragrant Rosso di Montalcino that is highly enjoyable.

Recommended pairings

The Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2023 Argiano pairs with great versatility with flavorful first courses of Italian tradition, such as pici with ragù, tagliatelle with meat sauce, and baked lasagna. It is also excellent with roasted white meats, noble poultry, braised veal, and second courses based on mushrooms or legumes. Its freshness and good structure make it suitable for Tuscan cured meats and semi-aged cheeses as well.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate the Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2023 Argiano, the ideal temperature is 16-18 °C.
