Anyone who follows the diatribes Enoiche, more or less compelling, web-sounding and the myriad of blogs to find information and tips, can not but have come across Gianpaolo Paglia: the owner of Poggio Argentiera is one of the most acute and active users of this means, either through his blog that interventions with those of others.
Much less known to most people, is the flip side of Poggio Argentiera or Camillo Antonio: Antonio takes care of the technical part of the company, along with Gianpaolo, but does not have a facebook profile, let alone a blog, not intervenes in the debates between modernists and traditionalists, but rather whether it is in the winery to taste and riassaggiare its products, or vineyard Slup plants Ciliegiolo decades old.
This is how, as an offshoot of Argentiera Poggio, Antonio Camillo wines, vintner in Maremma: so far had been "the beginning", ciliegiolo, and "Heights", sauvignon, to be talked about, albeit with significant differences between different vintages (I recall with great pleasure the Heights of 2007 for example).
Now the family is expanding with a new ciliegiolo, the "High Vallerana IGT," from an old vineyard, located a few kilometers north of Capalbio recently rented.
It is bottled in the first year these days, in fact, in 2008 and I believe I have the burden and honor to write first, thanks to the generosity , a little concerned, Gianpaolo.
wine illuminates the glass of ruby \u200b\u200bred and clings to the glass with the intention to leave as much slowly as possible, forming arches and very thick, giving the impression of not having to do with one of the many Ciliegiolo ready to drink, more or less correctly, are produced in the Maremma.
"Sa cherry, ADJUDGED my wife, and you certainly can not blame him: first impressions, the more clearly is the most typical of this grape variety and is certainly not overshadowed by the aging in wood (500 liters a second step ), the subsequent smell, made even by the hour away, also reveal a plum evident that over time tends to overcome the initial feeling that remains elegant and spicy in the background. A Tuscan toast
prepares mouth tasted: fragrances return in the mouth with cherry, which combines the warmth of alcohol in a feeling of Mon Cheri, but what is most striking is the conduct of tannin. At the entrance there seems to be, but as a beautiful woman you just wait, coming after a few moments to dry mouth and prepare a new draft.
The acidity helps in this endeavor in mind, clear that bodes well for future development of the bottle, while a note peposo, spicy with us even when the drink is now sold out. They go so
other crostini, thin slices of salami and a valuable Chianina beef stew with mushrooms.
And it's time for taking leave, with the intention to try those tomorrow a little bit of liquid that are left, looking for some pleasant surprise.
seems to materialize in this bottle, the stated intention of Poggio Argentiera to produce more and more wines to drink, preferably during meals, to the detriment of those wines brain the much talk and little is drinks.
A note of thanks also to the label of "Vallerana High", all played on elegance, with a clear understanding of the essential information and with a clear and appreciable feminine touch.
The production of this wine is limited to 1200 bottles per year (that can give the vineyard) that will be available in wine shops and online about 14 €.
an appropriate price for a bottle that has many facets to who is paying attention, but that is also a drink all of those who wish to sip a good wine, without much reasoning.
A new proof that the Ciliegiolo shines its own light and can be a resource for the Maremma.
