Argentiera Bolgheri Superiore 2021

This was a particularly short harvest, beginning in early Sept. Merlot grapes were first, showing generosity; then Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by September rains for freshness; finally Cabernet Franc on Oct 1st. All grapes were ripe, healthy, and rich in aroma and structure.

25 days at a controlled temperature of 28-30°C in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation occurs in 225l French oak barrels.

Aged for 14-16 months in 225-litre French oak barrels, followed by an additional 12 months in 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.
