Argentiera S.r.L. Soc. Agr. | Via Aurelia 412/A | IT 57022 Donoratico

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

"Expansive bouquet with ripe dark fruits, sweet spices and ethereal-balsamic notes, plus cedar and tobacco notes, flirts with overripeness. In the mouth, despite the dense structure with a supple drinking flow, appears polished and full-bodied with fine acidity, elaborate tannin, not as crisp as some others, rather round, subtle and gently melting, in the final then with a characterful mineral-iron-like and typical spice." Weinwisser

"Argentiera typically shines for its reddish fruit in this hilly southern part of Bolgheri, and here we have an intensity of red fruits, mostly cherry, which dominates the notes along with a floral touch. The style is juicy with refined, velvety tannins, zesty acidity, and a polished, elegant palate impression. The use of oak is balanced, with a soft toastiness and restrained tobacco aftertaste. Still tight at the moment, this will need bottle ageing to soften it." Decanter

"The Argentiera 2020 Bolgheri Superiore Argentiera is and remains a proud and cautious expression of a hot vintage. The fruit intensity starts with a bang, and the wine shifts up into sixth gear in the first few moments. However, the overall experience is somewhat shorter. Perhaps you should give it more time in the bottle." Wine Advocate

"A dark, brooding red, but also soft and complex, revealing flavours of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, loam and sweet spice. Wonderfully balanced and fluid, with a long, detailed aftertaste that plays around the tannins. Impressive." Wine Spectator

"Charismatic bouquet of plum jam and herbs, also liquorice and pepper; powerful in the mouth with lots of juice, pressure and length." Vinum

"Rich flavours of currants and plums with undertones of chocolate and walnut. Full-bodied and chewy with layers of tannins. It is a big wine and very juicy with a polished and long finish. Needs five to six years to mellow." James Suckling

"Bright, rich ruby red colour with a delicate purple hue. Expressive and fragrant nose of rich wild berries, ripe cherries and a hint of dark chocolate, with fine floral components, precious wood and light spice. Shows itself on the palate with great melting and tightly interwoven tannins, very powerful, pure and clear in the course, very long, still young." Falstaff
