Argiano Brunello
Sangiovese from Montalcino, poured by a Commack merchant.
The story behind Argiano
Brunello di Montalcino is Sangiovese grown around the hill town of Montalcino in southern Tuscany, aged longer than most Italian reds before release. The result is a firm, savory wine with sour cherry, dried herb and cedar, tannin that wants food, and a long finish. Rosso di Montalcino comes from the same grape and zone, made to drink younger and brighter.
We keep Argiano in the shop in Commack as a small allocation, one to two bottles at a time. Ask for it at the counter and we will walk you through what is on the shelf.
