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, located on 80 hectares along the Tuscan coast in the Maremma region, is renowned for its stunning landscape that blends sea, woods, and Mediterranean scrub. Its high-altitude vineyards, surrounded by maritime pines and olive groves, produce complex red wines from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Syrah, grown in diverse soils ranging from calcareous and stony to sandy and pebbly. The estate’s five main vineyard sites—Argentiera, Ginestre, Ventaglio, Porcarecce, and Ceccosodo—are harvested and vinified separately in stainless steel to preserve each plot’s unique terroir character, while the wineries and cellars are thoughtfully constructed using traditional and recycled materials, reflecting both sustainability and Tuscan heritage.
