The Argyrion 2009 from Tenimenti Collespino is an elegant and characterful red wine from Narni, in southern Umbria. The wine is a blend of 65% Sangiovese, 20% Sagrantino and 15% Alicante. The grapes come from a small 1.2-hectare vineyard situated on a hill at an altitude of 220 metres. The south-southeast-facing aspect ensures plenty of sunshine, good ventilation and marked temperature differences between day and night, which contribute to even and aromatic ripening.
The vineyard was planted in 2006 and has approximately 5,500 vines per hectare. The clay-rich soil of fossil origin and the yield of around 60 quintals of grapes per hectare form the basis for the wine’s quality and structure. The grapes are harvested by hand during the last ten days of September. Following vinification, the wine is aged for one and a half months in wood, in a combination of tonneaux and barriques. This ageing imparts extra depth to the wine, along with subtle spicy and woody nuances.
In the glass, the Argyrion 2009 displays the character of a mature Umbrian red wine. Ripe cherries and plums are complemented by notes of wild berries, dried herbs, leather and subtle earthy nuances. The oak ageing adds a hint of spice and cedar, whilst the wine remains beautifully balanced thanks to its fresh acidity and refined tannins. A versatile companion to savoury dishes, it is at its best with roasted or pan-fried meats and mature cheeses.
