Bolgheri Rosso Superiore 2020 Tenuta Argentiera 75 cl

Description

History

Founded in 1999, Tenuta Argentiera is located in the southern part of the Bolgheri DOC area, on the hills of Donoratico, reaching a maximum altitude of 200 meters above sea level. From here, you can admire a panorama of vineyards and a variety of terrains that extend to the horizon of the sea of the Tuscan archipelago.

The name of the estate is a tribute to Podere Argentiera, which was already present in the land registers of the Grand Duchy. Since 2016, the company has been led by Austrian entrepreneur Stanislaus Turnauer, who owns 80 hectares of land. This choice was determined by a deep love for this land. Tenuta Argentiera’s approach is based on cohesive teamwork and the ability to transform the international point of view and the respectful evolution of a territory into wine.

Tasting notes

Intense ruby red colour. On the nose emerge smells of jam, plum and wild fruits. Refined hints of chocolate, seasonings and roasted coffee invite you to taste: seductive, opulent, determined. A composition characterized by delicate and round tannins and a prolonged and persistent conclusion leave an authentic sensation of satisfaction in the mouth.

Possible combinations

Perfect with structured first courses or second courses based on red meat or game, even cooked for a long time, or with medium-aged cheeses.
