A dream team in the works.” - Wine Advocate. We have a tiny parcel of this colossal no-brainer (assuming you love Super Tuscans as much as we do). Tenuta Argentiera is located in a majestic stretch of land on the southern Tuscan coast, between woods and Mediterranean scrub. This wine is on par with the great “aia’s” s, with a world class team and the raw materials to create the region's very best wines. In fact, it is neighbors to some of the biggest names in Italian wine: Guado al Tasso, Ornellaia and Sassicaia! In a powerful vintage like 2015, this wine will age for decades if you so choose, but it is pretty tough to resist now. In early 2019, Argentiera hired the incredibly talented Leonardo Raspini to run the estate, Raspini spent 14 years at the helm of Ornellaia. This is an estate that is on the fast track to legend status, especially as their 20 year old vineyard comes into its own.

James Suckling
A delightful nose of creme de cassis, hot stones and crushed violets and spices. Full body, chewy and super polished tannins and a long finish, which really takes off thanks to electric acidity. An essay in balance and depth. Best ever. Puts Argentiera with the best of the best in Tuscany. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc.
Wine Spectator
Sleek and elegant, featuring black currant, violet, iron, licorice, olive, tobacco and spice flavors. Deftly balanced, picking up rosemary, juniper and pine accents as this plays out on the long, cohesive finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2023 through 2042. 7,083 cases made.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Bolgheri Superiore Argentiera shows a lot of fullness and generosity, with depth. The texture is wonderfully soft and velvety. It has a beautiful richness to it, with notes of chocolate, spice and dark fruit. This Bolgheri blend is beaming with warm sunshine from within with integrated tannins and mild freshness.
