This package lets you discover the full story of Tenimenti Collespino: from the young, powerful Primum to the sleek Argyrion, and from the first vintages of a brand-new vineyard to the most aged bottles from almost two decades ago. Six bottles, one plot of 1.2 hectares in Narni, one fossil seabed — and yet every bottle tells its own story.
WHAT'S IN THIS PACKAGE?
1x Argyrion IGP Umbria 2009 — Red · 13.5% · €32.00 per bottle
The oldest and most aged wine in the package. Made from 65% Sangiovese, 20% Sagrantino and 15% Alicante, aged for one and a half months in tonneaux and barriques. After more than fifteen years in the bottle, this wine has reached remarkable depth: ripe cherry and plum are complemented by wild berries, dried herbs, leather and earthy notes. Refined, complex and at the peak of its maturity. A rare opportunity to taste an Umbrian red wine at full ripeness. Wonderful with roasted meat, aged cheeses and pasta with rich sauces.
1x Primum IGP Umbria 2010 — Red · 13.5% · €32.00 per bottle
One year younger than the Argyrion 2009, but with a significantly higher Sagrantino component: 47% Sangiovese, 30% Sagrantino and 23% Alicante, aged twelve months on tonneaux and barriques. Ripe cherries and plums, dark berries, dried herbs and subtle wood spices. Powerful yet elegantly structured, with fresh acidity and fine tannins that keep the wine beautifully balanced. Excellent with roasted pork, lamb, braised dishes and hard cheeses.
1x Argyrion IGP Umbria 2013 — Red · 13.5% · €25.00 per bottle
The leaner, more elegant Argyrion made from 71% Sangiovese and 29% Sagrantino, with just one month of wood ageing. Ripe cherry, plum and violets, complemented by wild berries, dried herbs and earthy notes. Powerful and spicy, but less reliant on oak than the Primum. A typical Umbrian red wine that maintains a beautiful balance thanks to its fresh acidity and fine tannin structure. Great with lamb stew, braised dishes, poultry or a hearty pasta.
1x Primum IGP Umbria 2013 — Red · 13.5% · €25.00 per bottle
The same vintage as the Argyrion but a completely different wine. With 51% Sagrantino as the leading grape and fourteen months of wood ageing in barriques, tonneaux and large barrels, this is the richest and most structured wine in the package at that age. Ripe cherries and plums, vanilla, spices and cedarwood. Taste it alongside the Argyrion 2013 and discover how the ratio of grape varieties and the choice of wood ageing completely changes the style. With umbricelli with goose ragù, pork with plum sauce or braised dishes.
1x Primum IGP Umbria 2015 — Red · 13.5% · €15.00 per bottle
The most approachable Primum in the package. With 48% Sangiovese, 33% Alicante and 19% Sagrantino and ten months of wood ageing, the Alicante has more influence than usual here, giving the wine a softer, rounder character. Fruity, spicy and well-balanced, with a beautiful structure and a pleasantly drinkable style. A wine for the dinner table without fuss. With Chianina beef stew, guinea fowl with porcini mushrooms, lasagne or aged cheeses.
1x Primum IGP Umbria 2017 — Red · 13.5% · €15.00 per bottle
The youngest in the package and also the most assertive. With 57% Sagrantino as the dominant grape and no less than twenty months of ageing on tonneau, this is a wine with character and ageing potential. Powerful, spicy and structured, with dark fruit, a firm tannin foundation and a complex finish that showcases the typical power of Sagrantino. Still very much in development. With braised meat, charcuterie, stewed dishes or hard cheeses. Feel free to cellar it for a few more years to let it reach its full potential.
