Argiano’s Brunello di Montalcino is distinguished by its elegance and its deep ruby red colour. It presents a good concentration on the mid-palate and a persistent aftertaste with a rounded and voluptuous body and interesting silky tannins. It unites potency and elegance and looks like having a promising future. With its tempting perfumes of red berries and its clean freshness the complexity of this wine presents an excellent balance."
James Suckling: 98 Points
"An unforgiving and powerfully structured wine with fabulous grilled meat and granite stone character with dried berry and flower petal. Full body chewy and intense. Great structure and extremely long and intense. Sexy austerity. Gets the juices going. Best ever from here. Reminds me of the great Argianos of the 1970s but now"
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
?Aged for 24 months in oak the gorgeous 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is a brooding dark wine with great aromatic purity. The fruit tones are rich and penetrating spanning from plum prune and cassis to spice cake tar and black licorice. The wine's concentration is luscious and opulent. The oak element imparts lasting aromas of spice toast and caramel but the wine already shows a good degree of integration that should help it continue its bottle evolution. Hold this wine until 2017.?

"The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino jumps from the glass with notable energy and precision. Grilled herbs smoke tobacco rose petal and mint are all beautifully delineated in the glass. Distinctly savory and mineral notes add complexity to the expressive stone-inflected fruit in a chiseled pulsating Brunello endowed with considerable energy. The tannins need time to soften but Argiano's 2010 is unquestionably a winner. "
