Brunello di Montalcino DOCG "Vigna del Suolo"

This wine comes from a selected parcel of our most historic vineyard. It represents the history, elegance, and essence of the Argiano terroir.  Argiano embodies the history of the Montalcino region, standing as one of its most prestigious and traditional estates.

Argiano is part of the history of the Montalcino region and it’s one of the most prestigious and historical reality in the area. The name is thought to derive from the first settlements in Roman times – ‘Ara Janus’, referring to the god Janus. Another potential origin could be ‘the land of the River Orcia’ – known in ancient times as ‘Orgia’ and therefore Argiano.

The history of Argiano has a turning point in the 16th century with the decline of the Tolomei family in favor of the noble Pecci family from Sienna and with the construction of their magnificent villa between 1580 and 1596, perfect exempla of a 16th century noble residence. The name of the villa, Bell’Aria, was chosen when the Pecci decided to build it preserving the original center of the castle on the crest of the hill precisely because of the air quality.

Maturation: Cryomaceration for about four days, followed by spontaneous fermentation and maceration in concrete tanks for three weeks. Malolactic fermentation in concrete tanks. 12 months in 12 hl ovoid French oak casks and 12 months in Slavonian oak barrels. Bottling in April and May, following the most propitious lunar phases. Long bottle aging.
