A deep ruby colour, with wild scrub, dark berries and liquorice notes on the nose. The perfect partner to sausage or peppered mushroom dishes.

Poggio ai Ginepri Bolgheri DOC 2022 is composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, all vinified separately and extracted by soft pressing. The wine has as a broad and deep olfactory landscape that opens in a very frank and immediate way. The structure is intense, but also balanced by beautiful softness and depth of complexity. Truly a classy wine with defined structure and pronounced concentration.

Along the charming coast of the Alta Maremma, 100 km to the southwest of Florence, in the small and prestigious DOC Bolgheri area lies Tenuta Argentiera, which is part of the old estate of Donoratico that once belonged to the Florentine Serristori family.

"A firm red that has aromas and flavors of hazelnuts, mint chocolate, blueberries and currants. It’s medium- to full-bodied with lightly dusty, chewy tannins. A little tight and stern at the end. Try in 2025."
