Tenuta di Argiano BRUNELLO RISERVA 2010
Tasting Note
This wine is only made in the best vintages with special numbered labels. All the vinification process of this great wine, even the malolactic fermentation, take place in small concrete vats. The best grapes coming from Argiano's oldest vineyard of 1984, are picked and selected by hand in small cases and after a soft press vinificated with a cold pre-fermentation and a long maceration with frequent pumping over and delestage, looking for the best extraction for a harmonious texture and great complexity. After the malolactic fermentation, the wine starts the ageing phase in wood, for 24 months in 2nd passage of french wood specially selected. Another year in concrete vats complete the ageing process and without any filtration but just with a static settling the wine is bottled and starts a long bottle ageing. 2007 and 2010 are the latest vintages of Riserva created.
