Argentiera Bolgheri Superiore

The Maremma is a characterful landscape in central Italy, which is also known for its excellent wines. Argentiera Bolgheri Superiore from Tenuta Argentiera has a bright ruby red color with violet hues. On the palate, notes of licorice and black currants. This generous, complex wine - consisting of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc - is rich in tannins. It has a wonderful balance with a pleasant acidity. The finish is long lasting - with a remarkable freshness and minerality.

The harvested grapes come from the best vineyards of the estate. The grapes were vinified separately; fermentation and maceration took about 25 to 30 days in stainless steel tanks. The wine was then transferred to 225-liter French oak barriques, where its malolactic fermentation was completetd. The further maturation was about 14 months in oak barrels and then at least another 12 months on the bottle.

Tenuta Argentiera is located on the picturesque coast of the Northern Maremma, about 100 km southwest of Florence.

Product recommendation

Badia a Passignano Gran Selezione
The Badia a Passignano Gran Selezione gets its fresh and full bouquet from fermentation in wooden barrels made from Hungarian and French oak. This gives the single-varietal red wine a hint of tart spice and balsamic aromas in addition to the fruity taste of ripe fruit. The rounded tannins of this Chianti Classico are fresh and full-bodied on the palate and build up to an impressive finish.The Antiori winery uses only Sangiovese grapes from the vineyards of the former Badia a Passignano abbey in Tuscan Chianti for this select red wine.The finely balanced nuances of the fruit and wood aromas go perfectly with specialties from Italian cuisine. Enjoy the Badia a Passignano Gran Selezione at a drinking temperature of 16 - 18 °C with fruity pasta with tomato sauce as well as light stews and meat dishes with herbs and olives.

Bibi Graetz Colore 2018
Wie schon beim Testamatta stammen die Trauben von Reben in einem Alter von 80 bis 135 Jahren, was sicherlich besonders ist. Diese Basis schafft einen Wein, der nicht nur sehr konzentriert und kraftvoll, sondern gleichermaßen homogen, rund und elegant ist. Diese Balance zu kreieren erstaunt doch sehr. Nachdem Einschenken ins Glas (wir hatten den Wein 2 Stunden vorher dekantiert) ein intensives Aroma von Kirschen und Himbeeren in der Nase. Gefolgt von Kräuternoten und dem Duft einer Blumenwiese. Durch eine deutliche Säure entsteht ein frisches und subtiles Bouquet. Am Gaumen zeigt sich der Bibi Grätz Colore 2018 komplex und kraftvoll mit feiner Raffinesse. Im Finish konzentriertes Lakritz und sogar etwas Tabak. Sichern Sie sich ein paar Flaschen von den nur 9000 produzierten Exemplaren dieses wunderbaren Weins. Der Wein wird durch ein paar weitere Jahre Flaschenreife sicher noch an Trinkfreude zunehmen. So ist es auch nicht verwunderlich, dass unter anderem James Suckling 99 von 100 Punkten, Robert Parker und das Decanter Magazin je 97 von 100 möglichen Punkten vergeben

Col d'Orcia Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
The Col d'Orcia Brunello di Montalcino DOCG has a wonderfully fruity bouquet hinting of plums and ripe red fruit, complemented by a fine spice, resulting in a beautiful array of aromas.

The wine shows a finish offering lovely nuances of sour cherries.The Col d'Orcia Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is the result of a meticulous selection of Sangiovese grapes harvested by hand. This red wine matured for three years in Slovenian and French oak casks, and was further refined while aging for another 12 months in the bottle. Robert Parker rightly awards this exceptional creation more than 90 points.

Stag’s Leap Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Winemaker Nicki Pruss wisely and thoughtfully selects the best grapes from the various Napa Valley vineyards and skillfully blends them with grapes from his own Fay vineyard in the Stag's Leap District to create this unique Cabernet Sauvignon blend: with the depth, structure and elegance of the winery's limited single-vineyard wines and at the same time characterized by the individual character of each Napa Valley vineyard, which enriches Artemis with so many, often the smallest facets.The grapes are fermented separately and the wines are then blended into the Artemis Final Blend. The Stag's Leap Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Artemis matures for 18 months in French oak barrels (55% new), is then bottled and aged for a further six months in the bottle before finally being released for sale.In the glass, Artemis is a deep, dense plum red with ruby highlights. The American red wine enchants with a classic Cabernet bouquet of juicy ripe blackcurrants, blackberries and black cherries, underlaid with earthy notes of moss and forest floor, leather, cedar, herbs (rosemary), licorice, mocha, vanilla and caramel. On the palate, the wine is powerful, intense and firmly structured, yet with the classic elegance of Stag's Leap. The individual and expressive Cabernet Sauvignon has a medium body and is long and harmoniously balanced on the finish, with a spicy aftertaste of blackcurrants, black tea leaves, mocha and licorice.Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, lent her name to the Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon: the quintessence of selected grapes, sites and plots in the Napa Valley.
