Argiano 2015 "NC" Rosso Tuscano - 90pts

Argiano 2015 "NC" Rosso Tuscano (Tuscana IGT) Tuscany - Italy

Availability: BCLDB stores
Cost: $29-35 + taxes
Alcohol: 13.5%
Date Tasted: December 31st, 2019

Tasting Notes: The "NC" on the label stands for "Non Confunditur", the winery's motto and which roughly translate as "Not to be confused with" in English. It's a nice way of professing that this wine is unique, and it does stand out for its earthy-smokiness and its touch of black pepper. A blend of (mostly) Cabernet Sauvignon and smaller parts Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese, this is a medium-bodied, yet, intensely flavoured wine that can stand on its own without the crutch of good food, though, as with all Italian wines, it is even better in the company of a finely paired dish like a blackened Porterhouse. Ready to go now. Drink 2020-2022.
