Bolgheri DOC Bianco

A great Bolgheri white wine that is well-suited for aging and offers an enveloping taste experience - intense, yet at the same time fresh and flavourful.

 100% Vermentino

Select vintage

Vibrant synthesis of a small vineyard, Scenario is born in Argentiera thanks to the constant dialogue with the territory and the daily work in the vineyard and cellar. A terrace overlooking Villa Donoratico and Viale dei Pini, guides the gaze to wander freely over the Ligurian Sea and the northern horizon of this unspoiled corner of the Tuscan coast, up to the Apuan Alps. This structured white wine received particular attention during vinification through the use of ceramic stoneware containers and cigares, special untoasted wooden vessels bent by steam.

2022 Harvest Notes

 

The 2022 vintage will be remembered as the hottest of the last decades: the joint result of natural transformation, the influence of man and his scarce attention to the surrounding environment. Every year at Argentiera, since the beginning of the new century, we have been committed to reducing the effects of increasing temperatures and irregular rainfall by working on enhancing the plants’ ability to skillfully handle water stress and by making use of the vine’s natural ability to adapt to different climates. Management of the soil, fertilization, greenery and micro-irrigation allowed to harvest perfectly healthy grapes that have not suffered from wilting, thanks to the rainfall in mid-August (a total of 42 mm).
