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
Zuccardi Q Tempranillo 2019
Zuccardi Q Tempranillo is a structured and elegant Argentine red, offering complex notes of tobacco, leather and chocolate. Approachable in its youth yet capable of ageing gracefully for several years, it captures both power and finesse, showcasing the exceptional quality of old-vine Tempranillo from Mendoza. Why You'll Love It This is Argentine Tempranillo at its finest—structured, elegant, and beautifully complex. The Zuccardi family is one of Argentina's most respected winemaking dynasties, known for innovation and for championing vineyard expression across Mendoza. Their 'Q' range is sourced from carefully selected, old-vine parcels that deliver concentration, depth and purity of fruit. Sustainability, minimal intervention and precision winemaking are hallmarks of the Zuccardi philosophy, resulting in wines of exceptional character and ageing potential. Vineyard & Production Grapes are sourced from old vines in the Santa Rosa vineyards of Mendoza. The region's semi-arid climate, abundant sunshine and high luminosity are moderated by cool nights, which preserve acidity and aromatic intensity. These conditions, coupled with careful vineyard management, ensure perfectly balanced fruit. The 2019 vintage was an outstanding year in Mendoza, marked by ideal ripening conditions with higher-than-average spring humidity, while summer temperatures remained consistently below average. February and March continued with cool, luminous days, allowing slow, even ripening. Selected bunches are hand-harvested and gently transferred into concrete vats by gravity. Fermentation with native yeasts takes place with soft extraction through délestage and pigeage. After fermentation, the wine undergoes 20–25 days of maceration on skins, followed by full malolactic conversion. Ageing in oak barrels adds complexity, structure and longevity. Tasting Notes This deeply structured Tempranillo opens with aromas and flavours of tobacco, leather and chocolate. The palate is silky yet robust, show
