Winemaker Notes
Argirio displays a vibrant ruby red color. The nose opens with notes of plum jam and brandied morello cherry, supported by a light minerality. The finish offers delicate nuances of black pepper, licorice, and chocolate. On the palate, it is powerful and sumptuous, with elegant tannins and a pleasant mineral and balsamic note.

Wow. Fascinating aromas of black licorice, aniseed, fennel seed and blackcurrants. Medium-bodied with ultra-fine tannins and fresh and bright fruit. Vivid at the end with hints of chocolate. Cabernet franc.

The nose is sweet, fresh and lively, with aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, passion fruit and blood orange. On the palate, milk chocolate and cherry lift up the sweetness of the berries and the oranges, and a crack of peppery earth provides balance.
