The Ventaglio Toscana IGT from Tenuta Argentiera is a red wine that embodies the quintessence of Tuscan viticulture excellence. This wine stands out for its complexity and harmony, the result of meticulous grape selection and careful winemaking.

Sourced from the prestigious Bolgheri area, a renowned terroir for high-quality wine production, Ventaglio is primarily composed of Cabernet Franc, supplemented with small percentages of other local varieties. The vineyards are located on mineral-rich soils that impart a robust structure and distinctive character to the wine.

Visually, Ventaglio presents a deep and inviting ruby red color. On the nose, intense aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherries and blackberries emerge, enriched by nuances of sweet spices, tobacco, and a slight balsamic note, all framed by an elegant cedar wood scent from aging in barriques.

On the palate, Ventaglio Toscana IGT is opulent and fully harmonious. The initial attack is powerful, with a full body revealing complex layers of flavor, balanced by soft and mature tannins and a fresh acidity that leads to a long and persistent finish.

It is recommended to enjoy this wine at a temperature of 16-18°C, ideally paired with rich dishes such as roasted red meats, game, or aged cheeses. Ventaglio offers a sublime tasting experience reflecting the heritage and winemaking mastery of Tenuta Argentiera, a true gem for lovers of high-end Tuscan wines.
