Vigna del Suolo Brunello di Montalcino 2015

- 92 points -

The inaugural release of Argiano's first single-vineyard Brunello, which used to be bottled as an IGT under the name Suolo. It is crafted from a plot of 60-year-old vines grown on limestone-rich clay at upwards of 300 metres. Dense without being heavy, it has plenty of appeal: aromas of vanilla, wild cherry and sweet spice echo on the glossy, creamy palate. Wood notes protrude a bit on the finish, clipping it for now. However, there is plenty of stuffing to ride out a few years in the cellar.
