Argentiera Bolgheri Superiore 2021

From the highest point of the prestigious Bolgheri appellation, Tenuta Argentiera—now owned by Austrian entrepreneur Stanislaus Turnauer—delivers its flagship wine, a superb expression of the coastal Tuscan terroir.

The 2021 vintage is confirmed as truly exceptional. Wine Spectator awarded the overall Bolgheri & Maremma vintage a classic 99 points, a testament to the region's perfect growing conditions. The Argentiera 2021 itself has garnered outstanding praise, including a 97 points from James Suckling and 95+ points from The Wine Advocate.

This Bolgheri Superiore DOC is a Bordeaux-style blend, primarily crafted from Merlot (48%), Cabernet Sauvignon (45%), and a touch of Cabernet Franc (7%). It is a wine of profound concentration and elegance. Tasting notes highlight a beautiful freshness with aromas of raspberries, blackcurrants, violets, and lavender, underpinned by a powerful core of dark fruit, spice, and minerality. Critics note the precision, harmony, and fine, well-rounded tannins that give the wine a sophisticated structure.

Though a magnificent, big wine that is already appealing, it is clearly built for the cellar. The recommended drinking window starts after 2029 and extends to 2040+. Secure this classic-rated wine for an unforgettable vertical experience.
