Brunello di Montalcino Argiano 1986
Denne rødvin fra 1986 er produceret af Argiano i den prestigefyldte italienske region Toscana. Tenuta di Argiano har en lang historie, der strækker sig tilbage til begyndelsen af 1200-tallet, hvor ejendommen var genstand for stridigheder mellem magtfulde familier fra Siena. Blandt disse var Gaetani Lovatelli-familien, som tæller historiske skikkelser som Pave Gelasius 2. og Pave Bonifatius 8. Det nuværende palads på Argiano blev opført i 1500-tallet tæt på ruinerne af et gammelt slot. Under paladset findes de karakteristiske hvælvede kældre, hvor vinen traditionelt modner og forfines.
Vinen bærer den klassiske DOCG-klassifikation og kommer fra Brunello di Montalcino, et af Toscanas mest anerkendte rødvinsområder beliggende syd for Siena. Området er kendt for at levere kraftfulde vine med stor international efterspørgsel, og produktionen er udelukkende baseret på den italienske hoveddrue Sangiovese, som lokalt går under navnet Brunello. Druen er særligt udbredt i regioner som Toscana, Umbrien og Emilia Romagna. Årgang 1986 i området beskrives som frisk og stram, og årgangen har opnået en score på 84 point.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Tuscany
Tuscany is one of Italy's most iconic wine regions, with roots reaching back to the Etruscans. Sangiovese is the undisputed principal grape and forms the basis for classics such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. From the 1970s the prestigious Super Tuscans also emerged along the coast. The rolling hills produce structured red wines with cherry, herbs and firm tannins.
