In the glass, it displays an intense ruby colour, while the bouquet reveals clear aromas of ripe red fruits, enriched by balsamic, citrus notes and hints of wild herbs. On the palate, it expresses a \u003cstrong\u003efull-bodied and structured\u003c\/strong\u003e character, supported by pronounced savoury freshness and elegant tannins. The flavour balance lingers in a \u003cstrong\u003every persistent finish\u003c\/strong\u003e, an authentic and profound expression of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere does it come from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from \u003cstrong\u003eSant’Angelo in Colle\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the Montalcino area. The vineyards are situated between 280 and 310 metres above sea level, where the mild climate and significant summer temperature variations ensure optimal grape ripening. The vines, cultivated according to the principles of \u003cstrong\u003eorganic farming\u003c\/strong\u003e, sink their roots into soils rich in marl and ancient clay with a high presence of limestone. This specific geological composition gives the grapes a defined aromatic profile and intense \u003cstrong\u003egustatory tension\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is it produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with a careful selection of the grape bunches, followed by a brief cold pre-fermentation maceration. The \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e, triggered by indigenous yeasts, takes place at a controlled temperature in steel containers and cement vats, where malolactic fermentation also occurs. Maturation continues in wood, using French oak barriques and tonneaux together with large \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak casks\u003c\/strong\u003e. Ageing concludes with a period in cement and an appropriate \u003cstrong\u003erest in the bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e, which ensures stability and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1580 and linked to the myth of the god Janus, Argiano boasts a tradition of excellence celebrated even in the verses of Giosuè Carducci.
