Description and technical sheet
The Argentiera 2021 Bolgheri Superiore DOC Tenuta Argentiera stands as one of Bolgheri’s most authoritative expressions, born from particularly well-suited vineyards and a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. It is a pedigree red, built on full-bodied substance and stylistic precision, capable of combining intensity and restraint with an always elegant stride. Ageing in French oak barriques refines its texture, adding depth and a silky weave without weighing down the drink. The generous yet well-balanced 2021 vintage highlights an intriguing structure, with a profile that brings together energy and harmony. With its 14% ABV and an already well-defined personality, it suits both a contemplative tasting and a significant pairing at the table. The 96/100 score confirms its ambition and overall quality, placing it among the benchmark labels of the area.
Argentiera 2021 Bolgheri Superiore DOC Tenuta Argentiera: tasting notes
In the glass it shows a deep, bright ruby colour. On the nose it is intense and layered, with ripe dark fruit, hints of blackberry and redcurrant, followed by balsamic nuances and a touch of Mediterranean herbs. Sweet spicy notes then emerge, along with cocoa and well-integrated fine oak. On the palate it is rich and silky, with dense yet polished tannins, lively acidity, and a savoury streak that lengthens the sip. The finish is long, with fruity and spicy echoes and a harmonious close, defined by a refined texture.
