Podernuovo a Palazzone, di Giovanni BulgariArgirio 2020

About this wine

This elegant Tuscan red from Giovanni Bulgari's prestigious estate showcases the remarkable potential of Cabernet Franc in the heart of Italy's most celebrated wine region. The 2020 Argirio is a testament to the producer's commitment to crafting wines that honor both tradition and terroir.

On the nose, you'll discover vibrant aromas of ripe red berries and blackcurrant, intertwined with subtle notes of bell pepper and fresh herbs that are the signature of great Cabernet Franc. The palate reveals a beautifully structured wine with silky tannins and a refreshing acidity that balances the wine's generous 15% alcohol, leading to a long, elegant finish with hints of spice and dark chocolate.

This versatile red pairs wonderfully with grilled lamb chops, herb-crusted beef tenderloin, or a classic Tuscan bistecca alla fiorentina. For a more casual pairing, try it with aged pecorino cheese and cured meats. Serve at 16-18°C to fully appreciate its complex character.
