Elisabetta Geppetti says she didn't want to jump on the popular Vermentino bandwagon and instead opted for this French-inspired blend to capture floral tones, drying mineral nuances and crunchy stone fruit from chalky soils. On the nose, a multi-layered bouquet with fine herbal notes. Powerful, fresh and elegant on the palate with a mineral acidity and citrus flavours on the finish. It is very refreshing to taste an original white wine from the Tuscan coast. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow with silver-coloured nuances. Opens on the nose, initially grassy, then papaya and pineapple, hints of lemon balm. Fruity on the palate, ripe and soft, paired with invigorating acidity through to the juicy, lingering finish." Falstaff

"The Poggio Argentato 2024 is a crisp, refreshing dry white wine that can be drunk now and over the next few years. The flavours of lime, ginger, mint, sage and tomato leaves are beautifully developed. Bright acids round off the finish." Vinous

"This Tuscan white is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Petit Manseng, Gewurztraminer, and just a splash of Semillon. The result is fresh, vibrant and lemony, with white peach scents and bright fruit flavours accompanied by Mediterranean herbs. Green fruits mingle with juicy orange peel and grapefruit, with a long, sweetly ripe finish of honeydew melon, freshly squeezed lime, honeysuckle and orange oil." Decanter

"Lots of green apples and melon with some spiced pears. Medium body with flint and shell mineral character, as well as some salt and fresh sage. Very savoury." James Suckling

"The nose is spicy and herbaceous, with aromas of preserved lemon, wild thyme, oregano, salt and pepper, while the palate has more tart and sweet lemons and limes, herbs and salt, but also a softer, seductive note of white flowers and clean linen that lingers to the end." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2024 Poggio Argentato is a blend of 60 % Sauvignon Blanc, 30 % Petit Manseng and 10 % Sémillon and Traminer. It displays much of what owner Elisabetta Geppetti calls "Mediterranean tension", a balance she defines as the generosity of the warm climate paired with saltiness, freshness and brilliant straightforwardness. Grown in the coastal region of Maremma, where the sea breeze preserves the acidity, this pretty white wine offers exotic notes of jasmine and Sicilian zagara along with a hint of citrus peel."
