Poggio Argentato

The first vintage that sees this dry and mineral white in the bottle, is the 1997. Since then, Poggio Argentato accompanies, season on season with its freshness and perfect acidity, the simple and perfumed dishes of Mediterranean cuisine. A cuvée of Traminer and Sauvignon Blanc, it is perfectly suited to the Maremma micro-climate. Poggio Argentato is a white wine with a French accent and a very feminine style… capable of combining the Maremma sunshine and the elegance of the great northern vineyards.
