Tenuta Argentiera
Poggio ai Ginepri Rose
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. The soil composition varies throughout the vineyards, from sandy to calcareous and stony, offering complexity to the Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Syrah. The wineries and cellars are made of recycled or traditional materials such as terracotta and baked roofing tiles. The vineyards are surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and the countryside is flush with maritime pines and olive tree groves.
Tasting Notes
Fun and lively… it's rosé from Italy and enjoyed daily on the coast of Bolgheri.
Vinification
Each varietal was destemmed, pressed, and vinified separately in stainless steel tanks for 15-20 days at 28° C. Half of the wine was then put into 225-litre French and Hungarian oak barrels to complete malolactic fermentation while the other half went into stainless steel tanks.
Aging
Aged 8 months before blending and bottling.
