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
Peony pink colour. On the nose, there are fruity aromas of red berries, with delicate nuances of cherries and raspberries that underline the freshness of the wine. On the palate, a harmonious balance is perceived, with a pleasant sapidity and a fruity aftertaste that recalls not only wild berries, but also the distinctive note of dog rose.
Possible combinations
This wine is perfect to be enjoyed with seafood appetizers and goes excellently with grilled prawns and stuffed squid.
