Poggio Argentiera Capatosta - Morellino di Scansano / Toscana - Red - 2016 :

 

Poggio Argentiera Capatosta Red: The Elegant Thoroughbred of Maremma Tuscany

The Capatosta is Poggio Argentiera’s quintessential red, an organic IGT Toscana Rosso that marries the robust structure of Sangiovese with the unique, sun-drenched minerality of the Maremma coast. This wine is a superb example of modern Tuscan winemaking-powerful, yet impeccably balanced and refined, reflecting the estate's focus on purity and organic viticulture since 2009.

Tasting Notes: Depth and Finesse

• Colour: A full, deep ruby-garnet hue.
• Aroma: Rich bouquet of concentrated dark fruit (blackcurrant, fig, damson), beautifully integrated with notes of leather, pipe tobacco, cedar, and an underlying earthy spice.
• Taste: Full and multilayered on the palate. Expect firm but silky tannins, a generous body, and a streak of vital freshness that provides excellent length and lift to the dark fruit core. A true expression of a Maremma thoroughbred.

Service and Culinary Matches

This wine benefits significantly from being opened and decanted for an hour. Best served slightly below room temperature (17°C) to complement rich, slow-cooked dishes or mature cheese boards.
