Argentiera

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

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

Attractive bouquet with the typical aromas of a Cabernet-Syrah-Merlot blend such as cedar wood, leather and dark fruit. Powerful and densely woven body, perfectly balanced in acidity and tannin structure with a beautiful finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Rich, deep, dark ruby. Dense and memorable nose, lots of currant. Builds up pleasant pressure on the palate. Ripe, dark berries and a smooth and dense tannin lead to a long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

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

"This is a big and impressive wine. No denying. Full body with such depth and power. Crazy. An endless finish." James Suckling

"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

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

"Classic Bolgheri blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, aged 18 months in small woods: A smart bouquet of pepper, maraschino cherries and blueberries, also vanilla; a precise course with a balanced tannin-acid structure, the finish on notes of hot stone, dark berries and herbs. Should mature." Vinum

"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."
