    A pretty Bolgheri with notes of cherries, plums, peppercorns and dried herbs. Medium-bodied with firm, fine tannins. Round, balanced and creamy with a fruity edge.

    COMMENTARY: The 2020 Tenuta Argentiera Poggio al Ginepri is a lovely and appealing wine with an excellent range of nuances. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with aromas and flavors of black fruit, fragrant flowers, dried leaves, and savory spices. Enjoy it with a rosemary-accented, oven-roasted chicken.

    The easy-drinking Tenuta Argentiera 2020 Bolgheri Rosso Poggio ai Ginepri reflects the hot vintage with black cherry, dried fruit, pie crust and raspberry tart. The tannins are sweet, and the wine presents a soft, fruit-forward personality. There is a hint of tannic structure at the back, but the mouthfeel is mostly velvety and plush.

    An expressive red, featuring black currant, black cherry, cedar, graphite and black pepper flavors. Firm yet fluid, with moderate grip on the lingering finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now.

Argentiera Tenuta Argentiera Winery Video

Tenuta Argentiera stands in a magnificent patch of land in the Maremma that blends countryside and sea, suspended between woods and Mediterranean scrub. The Argentiera estate covers 80 hectares of breathtakingly beautiful Tuscan coast, approximately 100 km southwest of Florence. Argentiera is incredibly close to the sea and at a high altitude, making the land especially well-suited to growing incredible red grapes. The estate is considered among the most beautiful in Italy, with its spectacular view of the islands of the Tuscan archipelago. Their soils range from calcerous and stony to sandy to mineral and pebbly, lending complexity to the Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Syrah. The vineyards are surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and the countryside is flush with maritime pines and olive tree groves.

Argentiera has five main vineyard sites, ranging in elevation from 80-220 meters above sea level: Argentiera, Ginestre, Ventaglio, Porcarecce, and Ceccosodo. Every plot is harvested and vinified separately, exclusively in stainless steel, to preserve the character and fruity complexity lent by terroir variations. The wineries and cellars themselves are made of recycled or traditional materials such as terracotta and baked roofing tiles.

One of the world’s most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the best of these are densely hued, fragrant, full of fruit and boast a structure that begs for cellar time. Somm Secret—Blends from Bordeaux are generally earthier compared to those from the New World, which tend to be fruit-dominant.

An outstanding wine region made famous by Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, who planted Cabernet Sauvignon vines for his own consumption in 1940s on his San Guido estate, and called the resulting wine, Sassicaia. Today the region’s Tuscan reds are based on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which can be made as single varietal wines or blends. The local Sangiovese can make up no more than 50% of the blends. Today Sassicaia has its own DOC designation within the Bogheri DOC appellation.
