Discover Bellamarsilia: Poggio Argentiera's Elegant Maremma Red

The Poggio Argentiera Bellamarsilia Red is a superb example of Morellino di Scansano DOCG, Tuscany's coastal gem. Crafted primarily from Sangiovese in the beautiful Maremma region, this organic red offers a more immediately appealing, fruit-driven style compared to its inland cousins, while retaining true Tuscan structure and finesse. It’s a luxurious yet versatile addition to any cellar or table.

Sommelier's Insight: Flavour Profile

Expect a wine with a deep ruby hue and an articulate bouquet that speaks of its unique terroir:

• Aroma: An expressive nose of sweet cherry, wild strawberry, and plum, complemented by intriguing, complex layers of dried herbs, a hint of graphite, and a subtle balsamic lift.
• Taste: Fresh, balanced, and harmonious on the palate. The texture is defined by good, persistent tannins and a refreshing acidity, culminating in a long finish with a distinctive salty-mineral note-a signature of the Maremma's coastal influence.
• Serving: Decanting for an hour is recommended for younger vintages. Serve at 16-18°C.

The Perfect Match: Food Pairing

This red wine is highly versatile and pairs wonderfully with classic British and European fare.

• Suggested Pairings: Traditional Roast Lamb with Rosemary and Garlic, Veal Parmesan, Rich Beef Ragu Pasta, Mature Pecorino or Cheddar.
• Appellation Note: Morellino is the local name for Sangiovese in the Scansano area.
