Tenuta Argentiera Villa Donoratico Bolgheri 2021

Tenuta Argentiera Villa Donoratico Bolgheri 202194pts Wine Advocate "This is big wine from a lower denomination that offers good value when compared to the estate's top shelf releases. The Argentiera 2021 Bolgheri Rosso Villa Donoratico is up front in terms of mouthfeel with lots of immediate intensity delivered to the mid palate. The wine is articulate and generous with thick layers of black fruit, stewed plum, sweet earth and pressed blackberry. You get everything you want from a Bolgheri Rosso.
