With an intense ruby colour, it offers aromas of violet, cherry, and a delicate hint of herbal spice. On the palate, it is fresh and vibrant, with a medium body supported by \u003cstrong\u003efine-grained tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cstrong\u003eharmonious acidic structure\u003c\/strong\u003e perfectly balances the fruit, finishing with a savoury and mineral aftertaste. Its balanced profile makes it ideal for pairing with \u003cstrong\u003eTuscan cured meat starters\u003c\/strong\u003e, game ragù, and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt originates in the Montalcino area, among the vineyards of Sant’Angelo in Colle. The vines grow on \u003cstrong\u003ealluvial soils\u003c\/strong\u003e with the presence of calcareous marl, a geological base that gives the grapes a distinct aromatic clarity. The \u003cstrong\u003eMonte Amiata\u003c\/strong\u003e massif provides essential natural protection to maintain a constant and regular microclimate. The ageing takes place in the historic \u003cstrong\u003esixteenth-century cellars\u003c\/strong\u003e located beneath the Argiano estate, an underground environment perfect for ensuring stable temperatures during the wine’s development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter manual harvesting, the grapes undergo a \u003cstrong\u003ecold pre-fermentation maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e to preserve their aromatic integrity. Spontaneous fermentation uses indigenous yeasts and is followed by a period on the skins in steel tanks, where the malolactic phase is also completed. The maturation is divided between second-use French barriques and classic \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. The wine is then left to rest for adequate \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e before being ready for tasting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArgiano embodies the soul of Montalcino thanks to its vineyards, protected by Mount Amiata, and the historic \u003cstrong\u003e16th-century cellars\u003c\/strong\u003e located beneath the villa. In this ideal microclimate, oenologist Bernardino Sani continues the prestigious technical legacy established by Giacomo Tachis.
