Producer Description
The Argentiera DOC Bolgheri Superiore, draws its strength and uniqueness from the magnificent territory in which it’s generated. The grapes come from the estate’s best vineyards of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. It is a wine with a rich and silky complexity. A long maturation in French oak barrels, the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and the unique terroir of Tenuta Argentiera make this wine one of the greatest expressions in the Bolgheri area.
Aromas of plums and berries with some chocolate and vanilla undertones. Full-bodied and layered with soft tannins that are bright at the end. Currants and blackberries. Currant bush, too. Love the tannin texture to this. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Cabernet Franc.

#51 TOP 100 WINES OF ITALY, 2022.
This is so nicely crafted, with tannins that are fine and integrated, creating such a fine, silky texture. It’s medium-bodied with fantastic length and a long, persistent finish. So drinkable now, but will be even better in two or three years. Try after 2024.
Wine Advocate: 97 Points
What a beauty and what an incredible leap forward to excellence. The Tenuta Argentiera 2019 Bolgheri Superiore Argentiera shows depth and wide shoulders with soft plushness and impeccable fruit. The full-bodied wine is dialed up on all levels from perfumes, intensity, mouthfeel, texture and freshness. This bottle should hold past the 20-year mark.
Decanter: 95 Points
In Argentiera 2019 there is more Merlot than usual, raised to 50% of the blend, supporting the perception of a good quality vintage in Bolgheri. The blend is then composed of 44% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Cabernet Franc. Graceful, restrained dark fruit aromas shine in the glass, with cassis, plum and chocolate. Despite its fruitiness, the Merlot is more leafy than ripe, very classic and elegant. On the palate the wine is thick and dusty yet ripe, with crisp acidity leading to a red fruit and clove finish.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
A sophisticated red, exhibiting black currant, black cherry, olive and wild rosemary flavors. Turns more compact as this plays out on the long finish. Should relax in a year or two. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2024 through 2038. 6,500 cases made, 850 cases imported.
