Suolo
2012
Le vignoble Argiano, situé à Montalcino en Toscane, est une institution viticole datant du XVIe siècle, reconnue pour son Brunello di Montalcino. Son histoire riche inclut des propriétaires illustres comme les Médicis et des périodes de prospérité sous la famille Pecci au XVIIIe siècle. Depuis, Argiano a évolué avec l'introduction de techniques modernes tout en préservant son héritage. Il est aujourd'hui célèbre pour ses vins DOCG, résultat d'un savoir-faire séculaire alliant...

Élaboré pour la première fois en 2000 [...] le Suolo est issu à 100 % de sangiovese cultivé dans le plus vieux vignoble du domaine. Le nom Suolo (suolo est le terme italien pour “terre”) est un hommage à la terre accueillant les vignes, qui lui confèrent sa grande complexité [...]. Avec sa bonne structure, le Suolo est souple et velouté, bien équilibré dans l’ensemble, sombre et mystérieux, avec des notes de chêne merveilleusement intégrées. La finale s’attarde sur des notes fruitées où s’entremêlent des arômes balsamiques et de terre. Ce vin présente des notes de petits fruits rouges, de fleurs, d’épices, de réglisse, de fumée et de terre, qui sont clairement soulignées dans une superbe expression pure et vive de sangiovese explosant en bouche. Seulement 3 000 bouteilles et 60 magnums sont produits chaque année.
Made with vines that average 55 years old, this fragrant, single-vineyard Brunello boasts aromas of violet, menthol, wild berry and spice. Loaded with class and finesse, the delicious, full-bodied palate features Marasca cherry, raspberry compote, blood orange, licorice and a hint of coffee alongside polished, velvety tannins. A salty mineral note lingers on the finish. Drink 2024–2046.

This special single-vineyard wine comes from a 3.5-hectare site with vines 50- or 60-something years old. The Argiano 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna del Suolo (with only 5,000 bottles produced) opens to warm earthy notes that evoke the name of the wine: "vineyard of the soil." The fruit comes through in a second wave with dried raspberry, cassis and dried cherry. But that theme of earthiness permeates the entire experience and is evoked in the powdery dryness of the tannins too. These traits are characteristic of cement fermentation, which this wine does complete, but also of the calcareous marl soils of the site. This is an elegant wine that most certainly needs extra bottle time to gain in depth and volume. A special collaboration with tonnellerie Taransaud was started to create the custom 10-hectoliter oval casks used to age this 5,000-bottle production

The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna del Suolo from Argiano lifts up with a minty freshness which gives way to peppery herbs and florals. Medicinal cherry, hints of clove and licorice come forward over time. It is dense and textural, leaning toward black fruits, with a complex web of salty minerals and tannins that penetrate the senses. The 2016 Vigna del Suolo shows remarkable length, yet is currently folded in upon itself, creating what feels like a black hole of structure through the finale, which nearly masks an array of residual spices and perfumes. That said, it’s a long-distance runner that is packed full of potential.

Argiano's oldest site, Vigna del Suolo boasts 65-year-old vines of very rare Sangiovese clones. Recent soil mapping with Chilean specialist Pedro Parra has also revealed significant limestone underpinnings in the vineyard. The 2016 sports a smoky, earthy, dusty nose punctuated by dried fennel. Ripe, chalky tannins are currently front and centre, needing time to cede, while sun-soaked berries underneath speak unabashedly of its southern origins. There is much lurking in this textured, packed Brunello, including orange, mint and a twist of salty sea air.

Numbered bottles, this is number 2,299 of 5,940.
Mid ruby. Firmer and more closed on the nose than the standard offering. A hint of cinnamon bark and iron. Tangy supple, generous cherry fruit that is not heavy, yet is mouth-filling and with fine coating tannins. Can be approached now.
