Wine Spectator's #1 Wine of the Year in 2023 "Argiano Brunello di Montalcino 2018 earns the Wine of the Year honors from Wine Spectator in 2023. For its traditional expression of Brunello, its quality and its value, Argiano Brunello di Montalcino 2018 is not only a leading representation of the region, it’s our Wine of the Year". 95 points Wine Spectator "Rose, strawberry and cherry aromas and flavors are the main themes in this red, along with wild herb, mineral and cut hay accents. Racy and full of energy, with a long, saturated finish. *#1 Wine of the Year 2023, Highly Recommended". (6/2023) 94 points James Suckling "A bright and fresh 2018 with cherry and floral aromas and flavors. Medium body, refined tannins and a linear finish with bright acidity. Tangy and energetic. Tight at the end. A year or two will open it, but already a beauty." (6/2022)
