Argentiera

Argentieras Rosato is generous in its aromas of fruit and soft on the palate. Impeccable and impeccable. A rosé for high demands. SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium pale pink. Fresh red berries and anise on the bright nose and in the mouth. Dry and youthfully chewy in texture, with good depth on the brightly fruity and floral finish." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)

Fresh and juicy the Poggio ai Ginepri in its white edition of Vermentino, Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc. Fruit bouquet of light fruit and blossoms, round and wonderfully balanced on the palate with a pleasant acid reader. SUPERIORE.DE

A rich, deep, dark ruby. Dense and catchy nose, lots of currants. Builds pleasant pressure on the palate. Mature, dark berries and a smooth and dense tannin lead into a long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"A ripe, plush version, featuring mouthfilling blackberry, plum and spice flavors. Firm and dense, with a line of tannins on the earth-tinged finish." Wine Spectator

"The 2017 Bolgheri Rosso Villa Donoratico is a thickly concentrated wine that pours from the bottle with generous flavors of blackberry and plum that are woven together with spice, tobacco and campfire ash. You can feel the power and exuberance of the dark primary fruit in this warm vintage. However, it does not lack freshness and acidity, which are ultimately what brings the wine into balance. Go to Villa Donoratico for great value." Robert Parker

Rich, noble cuvée from the winery of the same name: aromas of red fruits, a light hint of roasted coffee and animal notes, an excellent tannin structure and a beautiful acidity give the "Bordeaux from Bolgheri" its exceptional independence and elegance. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling dark ruby red. A lot of crunchy, dark berry fruit, cassis, elderberries and blackberries, a little dark tobacco gives tension. Full and close to the palate, opens with dense tannin, runs as if on rails, full finish." Falstaff

"Rich, with black currant, plum, loamy earth, vanilla and toasty oak spice aromas and flavors, backed by a spine of dense tannins and vibrant acidity, lingering with ample fruit, herb and spice notes." Wine Spectator

"Finally Argentiera returns to excellence, following several years of wines falling below expectations due to various changes. The estate is located at the southernmost border of the appellation. In 2016, possibly because of the high percentage of Merlot in the blend, the wine shows great complexity from straw notes and earthy tones in a sort of Right Bank style, with meaty cassis fruit and a slightly leaner body full of finesse. The tannins in this vintage are almost silky from this higher altitude part of the appellation, at 200 metres above sea level." Decanter

"Love the complexity to this with lots of rosemary and lavender that complement the currant and violet character. Full-bodied, yet extremely polished and tight on the palate. The tannins are ever so fine. Extremely long and beautiful. Another excellent wine, after the superb 2015." James Suckling

"This is a dark Tuscan red that is beautifully elevated, thanks to the extremely elegant and buoyant quality of the aromas. They lift gracefully from the glass with light-footed, almost fleeting character. However, don't underestimate the power and the concentration of the wine, because this vintage delivers both with abundance. I've had my eye on this estate since the vineyards were first planted some 20 years ago, and there is no doubt that this vintage brings Tenuta Argentiera into a new era as a Bolgheri protagonist." Robert Parker

"Intense, bright ruby violet. Intense and complex nose, seductive, much dark raspberry, plums, liquorice. On the palate round and smooth, opening with a grippy, dense tannin, much sweet fruit melt, in the finale rich fruit." Falstaff

"Big juicy wine with lots of plums and milk chocolate with hints of walnuts on the nose and palate. Full and very velvety, almost jammy but turns fresh and soft. Verges on being Californian in style with 15% alcohol. Slightly over the top for me but some may really like it." James Suckling

"Broad and concentrated, sporting cherry, licorice, leather and saline-mineral flavors allied to a beefy frame. Firmly structured, with character expressed in a frank, rustic way." Wine Spectator

"This Merlot opens with savory aromas of spice and cured meat, followed by notes of blackberry preserves and black currant. It shows some secondary aromas of leather and pipe tobacco, plus lingering tones of rum cake, licorice and tar. There's a fresh, almost menthol-like quality to the palate, which offers tight, polished tannins and long savory flavors." Wine Enthusiast

The youngest scion of this exceptional winery is a pure Cabernet Franc: intense fruity bouquet of blackberry and blackcurrant, spicy notes such as black pepper, laurel and nutmeg, with elegant ethereal notes. Full, smooth and harmonious on the palate, the tannins silky-sweet, generous and long-lasting. The finale is reminiscent of a fresh sea breeze. Exquisite! SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep dark, rich ruby violet. Very compact nose with intense dark berry fruit, hints of blackberries and blueberries, underlaid with rich liquorice. Fine-grained tannin present on the palate, builds up in many layers, in the aftertaste full of liquorice and plums, blooms again after a longer aeration." Falstaff

"Dense, with black cherry, black currant, sweet spice and licorice flavors, this red is vibrant and harmonious. The tannins are thickset, yet civilized and integrated with the texture. Monolithic now, so be patient." Wine Spectator

"Exotic blueberry with inky concentration and graphite, espresso and gravel. Well-endowed but stylish tannins. Truly exceptional." James Suckling
