Tasting Notes
A deep ruby color with violet hues, and complex layers of wild berries, blackcurrant, graphite, eucalyptus, and sweet spices on the nose. It is elegant yet powerful, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, savory finish
Cultivation
The harvest took place by hand between September 18 and 22, followed by careful sorting.
Vinification
Whole grapes fall by gravity into two small truncated cone-shaped tanks made of French oak wood, where they are fermented on the skins, alternating daily pumping over and manual punching down of the cap for 25 days at a controlled temperature of 28-30°C. The wine is then poured into barriques and tonneaux of French and Austrian oak, some of which are new, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation.
Aging
Aged for 14 months in French and Austrian large oak casks and tonneaux, followed by an additional 36 months in the bottle.

Argentiera, perched at the southern tip of the Bolgheri DOC, is one of Tuscany’s most breathtaking estates, stretching toward the Tuscan archipelago and rising to 200 meters above sea level. Its south- and southwest-facing slopes benefit from a unique microclimate, where cooling Tyrrhenian breezes and reflected sunlight help grapes achieve optimal ripeness, while diverse soils—from limestone and clay to sand and pebbles—add complexity to their wines. With vineyards harvested and vinified parcel by parcel to preserve the expression of each site, Argentiera combines lofty elevation, maritime influence, and careful winemaking to create wines that reflect both the beauty and singularity of its Maremma terroir.
