Description
Argiano’s Riserva comes from a select vineyard planted to one single clone, which gives wines with greater structure. It is the only one of the estate’s three Brunello still aged in small barrels, though the amount of new wood has decreased to 50%. This is well integrated, polished and balanced with lovely soft acidity. The nose is discreet, with warm earth, iron and tea, then opens to mint and tarragon. Sandy tannins stick to the palate with plenty of grip to bolster the sweet fruit. Just wants a little more focus.
