2021 Tenuta Argentiera 'Argentiera' Bolgheri Superiore

“Argentiera is with the best of the best in Tuscany…” – James Suckling “Carving out a place among the greatest wines of Bolgheri.” - Decanter

The accolades go on and on… Unfortunately, with a very limited drop to share, we must make haste because this will sell out fast!

If you come across this at your local wine shop, expect to pay $100-115+. Even if you scout the best deal online, it’s hardly ever under $100.

Or. hear us out…you can lock it down from us for an earth shattering $88 today!

Seriously. Every vintage hits in the 95-99 range. This one? A solid pair of 97s so far, more to come.

Argentiera’s impeccable track record goes back to the inaugural 1999. It goes toe-to-toe with the very best Tuscans, priced wildly less than your Sassicaia, Ornellaia, etc. Wine Spectator acknowledges it, “using Bordeaux grapes and new-school winemaking techniques, Le Macchiole, Argentiera, Ornellaia and Antinori showed how this coastal region has become world-class for wines that marry almost New World character with savory and wild herb notes strongly rooted in Tuscany.”

The value here is IMMENSE. Other 2021 supers in this league - ones with the “-aia” names - they fall in the $200-$300+ range. And this stands right up there with everyone. Even at full price. At with 55% OFF, lovers of Super Tuscans need to lock it down, pronto.

Elaborating on the greatness here James Suckling says “Located in the famous Bolgheri district on Tuscany’s coastline, Argentiera is neighbored by some of Italy’s most famous wineries: Guado al Tasso, Ornellaia, and Sassicaia. The prime location is complemented by a world-class team led by Federico Zileri, the vineyard manager, and Stephane Derenoncourt, the famous Bordeaux consulting oenologist… the Bolgheri Superiore is always rich and silky, blended from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, always with a harmonious, soulful nature.”

Indeed elegant, graceful, intense, and finessed, a thoroughbred reminiscent of First Growth Bordeaux, only with that unmistakable super-Tuscan breadth, only the best terroirs in Bolgheri can achieve. Layer upon layer of savory and delectable sensuality that leaves you yearning for more with each sip.

Too bad we have this one small batch while it lasts!

97 Points – Fallstaff “Clear ruby with a dark core. Opens with pronounced savoury notes of macchia bushes and cardomon, then lots of dark berryish fruit and tobacco. Round and polished in attack and finish, precisely crafted, finely-meshed tannins carry the wine, firm drive on the finish.”

97 Points – James Suckling “A beautifully fresh young wine with raspberries, blackcurrants, violets and lavender. Minerally. More blue fruit than in the past. Very racy and fine with a medium to full body and flavors of blue fruit, such as raspberry and blueberry The tannins show lovely harmony and precision. Vertical with energy. Drink after 2029.”
