Argiano Non Confunditur NC Rosso Toscano 2021
Tuscany, ItalyNon-Confunditur, or “not to be confused or unique,” is on the Argiano family crest. In many ways, it describes the direction of winemaker Bernardino Sani, responsible for this Super Tuscan mix of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and sangiovese. The fruit comes off younger 15 to 20 year old organically farmed vines leaving Sani to describe NC as a baby or junior Super Tuscan. The softness and roundness pull you into the glass, offering savoury wild notes of sage and violets mixed with juicy blueberry, black raspberry, with a stony mineral underside. Long, ripe, and sweet spiced, this wine overdelivers right now. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged in two and three year old oak. We loved this wine with a plate of grilled sausages and dry hard cheeses. Big value here.Tasted: 10 March 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $29.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
