Le Villa Donoratico 2021 de Tenuta Argentiera est un Bolgheri DOC primé (3 bicchieri, 90 points), à 36 € les 75 cl en grand format. Sa limite : un assemblage bordelais sans cépage toscan, et ni bio ni pratiques de vendange précisées.
Bolgheri DOC nommée avec la zone de production et un assemblage bordelais justifié par l'appellation ; pas de cépage toscan, ancrage local réel mais style international.
Trois Bicchieri, plus des 90 points James Suckling, Robert Parker et Wine Spectator : plusieurs distinctions reconnues, sans atteindre le très haut niveau.
À 72 € le format 1,5 L, soit 36 € les 75 cl, le prix reste cohérent pour un Bolgheri DOC primé ; le prix barré de 91,96 € est un repère réel.
Accords précis (viandes rouges, gibier, fromages affinés, plats toscans), profil aromatique détaillé et service à 16-18 °C ; la décantation conseillée n'est pas un fait du dossier.

Comment on noteThe wine
Today I'm taking you to the heart of a gem of the Tuscan coast, a wine that embodies the perfect balance between power and finesse. The Villa Donoratico from Tenuta Argentiera is an invitation to discover the soul of Bolgheri, a sensory experience you won't soon forget.
Nestled in the prestigious Bolgheri DOC appellation, on the Tuscan coast, this estate is a true gem. The Villa Donoratico 2021 is the result of a meticulous blend: 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot. Each grape variety contributes to the complexity of this wine, reflecting the richness of its terroir.
Its color is a deep, vibrant red, announcing a promising olfactory richness. On the nose, you will be charmed by intense aromas of ripe woodland fruits, such as blackberry and blackcurrant, enhanced by spicy notes of vanilla and black pepper, inherited from its barrel aging. On the palate, this wine reveals a robust yet harmonious structure, with ripe, well-integrated tannins that pair wonderfully with lively acidity. Fermentation in steel tanks, with maceration for 20 to 25 days at 28°C, followed by 12 months of aging in barriques and 10 months in the bottle, give it this depth and aromatic persistence.
This Bolgheri DOC is a wine of character, perfect for accompanying rich dishes. Imagine it alongside grilled red meats, flavorful game or aged cheeses. It will also enhance the authentic flavors of Tuscan dishes. I recommend decanting it at least one hour before serving, so that it can reveal all its nuances and offer you an optimal tasting experience. It is the ideal wine for a special occasion or to enrich your collection, a true expression of Tuscan wine excellence.
