Argiano Non Confunditur Nc 2015

Wine Advocate 90 points - You get amazing value with the 2015 Non Confunditur by the celebrated Argiano estate in Montalcino, Tuscany. The wine is composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. It presents a mid-weight approach with bright berry and forest bramble aromas followed by softer tones of tobacco and savory spice. I’d suggest putting a couple of cases of this wine away for those spontaneous and convivial moments when the whole family is crowded around the kitchen.

James Suckling 94 points - This is a rich and racy young red with chocolate, currant and hints of sandalwood. Full body, chewy tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Savory and juicy. Cabenret sauvignon, syrah, merlot and a splash of sangiovese. 

Argiano is one of the most important estates in Montalcino. It is located in the southwest quadrant and sees most of its vineyards at 300 meters above sea level, on a flat plateau with beautiful views and a protected microclimate. The Amiata mountain in the distance blocks much of the incoming bad weather. One area of the estate has heavy clay soils. International grapes are planted here. Sangiovese (clone M1) is also planted here in part. Other Sangiovese vines make their home in light, calcareous soils that help enhance aromas. Argiano started organic farming in 2012 and earned its certificate last year.
