(923 views) | | | Tasted by ManuKey on 9/19/2015 flawed bottle: Bouteille défectueuse. Imbuvable. (2890 views) | | | Tasted by ManuKey on 2/14/2015 & rated 87 points: Le vin dégage de beaux arômes de cerises noires, de vieux bois, avec une note viandé également. L'attaque en bouche est douce avec des tanins majoritairement fondus. De longueur moyenne. (3169 views) | | | Tasted by TheSohs on 8/9/2014 & rated 85 points: Musty with sweet cherry notes in the nose. Bright cherry with some dark oak in the palate. Medium light body. Light acid with steely, meat fat notes on the finish. I preferred the 2010 Il Poggione Rosso with a similar price point. (4126 views) | | | Tasted by cmiller on 5/18/2014 & rated 89 points: Definite improvement over the bottle drunk a year ago; much less tight. Nose was somewhat muted. Sweet cherries on the palate. (4038 views) | | | Tasted by Frank&Steph on 10/30/2013 & rated 89 points: assez vert, épices, cerise, plant de tomate, floral.. très bien (3763 views) | | | Tasted by Frank&Steph on 6/25/2013 & rated 89 points: très floral (2347 views) | | | Tasted by Woodbridge Brad on 6/1/2013 & rated 86 points: Very reduced when the bottle was first opened, it did come around after 30 minutes when it became complex and soft. A second bottle was better but still quite similar. (1982 views) | | | Tasted by Steven A on 5/31/2013 & rated 87 points: Leather must and dark cherry comes to mind. This one has a little brett on it. This Rosso is screaming for food (1264 views) | | | Tasted by Johan42 on 5/10/2013 & rated 87 points: Fruity, a bit tight and acidic, some spice. Overall pretty solid. (1211 views) | | | Tasted by dpolivy on 1/23/2013 & rated 90 points: Kings of Tuscan Wine (Wine World, Seattle, WA): Very fruit forward; rich yet light, and quite round on the palate. Finishes with good acidity but rough-edges on the tannins. It really needs some time to integrate, but shows potential. (1736 views) | | | Tasted by CASEBIER KENNETH on 11/16/2012 & rated 89 points: Terroir nose. Truly smells of the earth at sunrise, when dew is on the vines. Tobacco, cassis, chewy, violets, lingers on the palate with lovely clean finish. Good level of tannins, with a complete beginning, middle and end. (1255 views) | | | Tasted by Zweder on 10/20/2012 & rated 86 points: Retailer tasting: The bouquet has some earthiness and spiciness, but is not really complex. On the palate a juicy and supple wine with some earthiness, some sweetness in good balance with the acidity and a bit drying tannin. Youthful and easy accessible wine. Ready now and the next few years. (1456 views) |

Producer Location (Google Maps)Argiano Rosso di Montalcino All vintages of this specific wine.SangioveseSANGIOVESE: (Pronounced "sahn-joh-vhe-se").
Sangiovese - Italy's claim to fame, the pride of Tuscany. Traditionally made, the wines are full of cherry fruit, earth, and cedar. It produces Chianti (Classico), Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montepulciano, Montefalco Rosso, and many others. Sangiovese is also the backbone in many of the acclaimed, modern-styled "Super-Tuscans", where it is blended with Bordeaux varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc) and typically aged in French oak barrels, resulting a wine primed for the international market in the style of a typical California cabernet: oaky, high-alcohol, and a ripe, jammy, fruit-forward profile.[16]
Semi-classic grape grown in the Tuscany region of Italy. Used to produce the Chianti and other Tuscan red wines. Has many clonal versions, two of which seem to predominate. The Sangiovese Grosso clone Brunello variety is used for the dark red, traditionally powerful and slow-maturing "Brunello di Montalcino" wine. The other is the Sangiovese Piccolo, also known under the historical synonym name Sangioveto, used for standard Chianti Classico DOC wines. Old vine derived wine is often used in the better versions, needing several years ageing to reach peak. A third clone, Morellino, is used in a popular wine blend with the same name found in the southern part of the province. Recent efforts in California with clones of this variety are very promising, producing medium-bodied reds with rich cherry or plumlike flavors and aromas. Among the available clonal versions are R6 and R7, derived from the Montalcino region of Italy, having average productivity/ripening and producing small berries on medium size clusters. R10 and R24 are well-recommended. R23, listed as deriving from the Emilia-Romagna region, has good vigor with medium-small clusters with earlier ripening. R102 derives from the Montepulciano region and reported to have average vigor with moderate productivity that results in higher sugar levels and good acidity from medium-small berries on medium-small clusters. Has synonym name of Nielluccio where grown in Corsica.Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorTuscany Tuscany (ItalianMade.com) | TuscanytMontalcino Montalcino websiteRosso di Montalcino Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino |
