In the beautiful Bolgheri, we find the extraordinary Tenuta Argentiera Ventaglio IGT, a wine that embodies the essence of Cabernet Franc (and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon) to perfection.

Here in the vineyard, all actions are carried out with loving care and dedication by hand. This means that interventions are kept to a minimum, and cultivation methods are focused on complete ecological sustainability, preserving and respecting the vitality of the soil.

It is widely known that the "quality of the wine" directly stems from the quality of the vineyard. At Tenuta Argentiera, this is no different. Here, the "morning grapes," "afternoon grapes," and "evening grapes" are fermented together, resulting in a wine that is more than the sum of its parts, a true "collective natural creation." Here, all nuances of the terroir find their proper, balanced expression.

The Tenuta Argentiera Ventaglio IGT is a robust and full-bodied wine with a deep purple color and a seductive bouquet of ripe black fruits, such as blackberries and blueberries, interwoven with hints of herbs and cedarwood. On the palate, the wine presents itself with balanced acidity, sturdy tannins, and a lingering finish.

Considered one of the gems of Bolgheri, this wine is ideal for aging. It pairs excellently with hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses. It is a tribute to Tenuta Argentiera's dedication to producing wines of the highest quality, in line with the iconic Masseto.
