Bodegas Aragonesas Aragonia Seleccion Especial Garnacha 2021
This bold and expressive red is crafted in the Campo de Borja region, just south of Rioja and Navarra, where Garnacha reaches some of its finest expressions. Bodegas Aragonesas, an innovative and ambitious winery, has pioneered a unique approach: selecting the best wines from local cooperatives, before blending, maturing, and finishing them in-house. This meticulous process allows them to elevate quality and consistency, ensuring wines of exceptional character. Production The grapes are sourced from vines over 50 years old, producing naturally low yields of intensely concentrated fruit. Following vinification, the wine is matured in oak, where it develops depth, structure, and layers of complexity. Tasting notes A vivid, ripe Garnacha brimming with aromas of red berries, wild herbs, mineral notes, and roasted spice. The palate is broad, harmonious, and richly textured, with refined tannins supporting generous fruit and spice. Long, complex, and elegant on the finish. Food match Perfect with grilled meats, game, hearty casseroles, or rich vegetarian dishes such as aubergine stew or mushroom risotto. Grape varieties 100% Garnacha Tinta
Poggio Argentiera, Maremmante Rosso 2019
Poggio Argentiera was founded in 1997 with the purchase of the Adua farm, a property which went back to the early 20th century when the Maremma marshes began to be drained, today the winery owns over 50 acres (21 hectares) of vineyards all in the Morellino di Scansano appellation. Their philosophy combines the work in the vineyard with the utmost respect for the vine and its production cycle and, starting from 2009, the management of the entire Estate has been converted following the principles and practices of organic agriculture and farming, with the objective of researching perfect balance between the vines and the surrounding environment. "Red fruit and violets. Complex, dusky nose, combination of sweet red fruits – cherries and plums, with peppery darker notes and dry spice – cardamom pods and sandalwood. Palate is juicy and taut, with nice purity and zest to the fruit, literally – notes of orange peel jostle with red and sour cherries and spiced plums, and there is tobaccic quality to the salty tannins. Very accomplished winemaking at this level – the quality of fruit from the Baccinello vineyard really seems to shine." Tom Harrow, Wine Guru
