Argentiera doc Bolgheri Superiore 2020 Magnum

Argentiera Bolgheri Superiore Magnum 2020

Argentiera by Tenuta Argentiera is a Bolgheri Superiore DOC in magnum format that authoritatively interprets one of the most prestigious territories of the Tuscan coast. It is born from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, combining richness, balance, and depth of flavor in a modern style while remaining true to the vocation of Bolgheri.

Territory and wine style

The grapes come from the most suitable vineyards of the estate, located between 180 and 200 meters above sea level with a southwest exposure. Manual selection and separate vinification of the varieties allow for the best expression of each grape's character. Argentiera Bolgheri Superiore Magnum 2020 thus expresses the typical imprint of the great Bolgheri reds: intensity, fruit maturity, structure, and an elegant profile, supported by aging in French oak barriques.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a deep and concentrated red color. The bouquet is rich and broad, with sensations of ripe red and dark fruit, spicy notes, and a toasted touch derived from wood aging. On the palate, Argentiera Bolgheri Superiore Magnum 2020 is silky, enveloping, and well-structured, with present yet harmonious tannins and a freshness that supports the drinking experience. The finish is long, precise, and persistent, with fruity and spicy returns.

Recommended pairings

This Tuscan red pairs well with important and flavorful dishes, such as braised meats, beef fillets, roasts, game birds, and aged cheeses. It is also excellent with traditional Italian dishes, such as pappardelle with wild boar ragù or grilled meat cuts. Its structure makes it perfect for accompanying special dinners and land-based tasting menus.

Serving temperature

To fully appreciate Argentiera Bolgheri Superiore Magnum 2020, a serving temperature between 16 and 18 °C is recommended. If opened young, it can benefit from a short period of aeration in a decanter, which enhances the aromatic complexity and makes the sip even more harmonious.
