James Suckling says “Argentiera is with the best of the best in Tuscany…”

Decanter further primes them as “carving out a place among the greatest wines of Bolgheri.”

The accolades go on and on… Unfortunately, with a very limited drop to share, the limited stock we have won’t. We must make haste because this will sell out fast!

If you come across this at your local wine shop, expect to pay a lot more. Even if you scout the best deal, it’s seldom under $100. Often closer to $200, case in point.

Or… hear us out… You can lock it down from us for an earth-shattering $85 today!

Every vintage hits 95-100 points. This one? A solid pair of 97s and a couple of 95s on backing vocals.

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 $300-$500+ range. And this stands right up there with the neighbors. Even at full price. At 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 – 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.”

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

95+ Points – Wine Advocate “The Argentiera 2021 Bolgheri Superiore Argentiera is quite dense and rich, showing the bold intensity of the vintage in no uncertain terms. The bouquet offers blackberry liqueur and syrupy black cherry with spicy notes. The tannins are fleshed out for the most part, with a point of bitterness that still needs to settle. This 2021 needs a few more years of bottle age to iron out. Drink 2026-2040.”

95 Points – Jeb Dunnuck “The 2021 Argentiera leaps from the glass with lots of noble Mediterranean personality upfront. A youthful dark red hue, it boasts notes of dark stones, blackcurrants, fresh tobacco, lavender, and crushed sage. The palate offers the richest of the three vintages of this wine that I tasted at the estate. Full-bodied, it has rich extract along with a youthful, fruity cushion of fruit, supple, velvety tannins, and a long finish with a bit of meaty richness as well as a mouthwatering touch of saline. It deserves a few more years in bottle to give it time to improve and should age slowly over the coming 20 or more years. Drink 2027-2045.”
