Ideal pairings include fettuccini with pistachio pesto and gnocchetti with lobster sauce, enhancing the wine's vibrant character. With a production of 35,000 bottles, Poggio Argentato is a refined choice for any occasion, promising to elevate your dining experience and reflect the beauty of its Maremma origin.

A blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Petit Manseng and 10% Sémillon and Traminer, the Fattoria Le Pupille 2024 Poggio Argentato shows plenty of what proprietor Elisabetta Geppetti calls “Mediterranean tension,” a balance she defines as warm-climate generosity paired with saltiness, freshness and brilliant linearity. Grown in the coastal Maremma, where sea breezes help preserve acidity, this pretty white blend offers exotic notes of jasmine and Sicilian zagara along with hints of citrus peel. It should offer modest aging potential thanks to the significant proportion of Petit Manseng and the natural acidity of the other varieties. I also smelled the sage planted along the walkway leading up to the estate’s new offices and tasting room, a detail that felt quietly echoed across this entire line of new releases.

Lots of green apples and melon with some spiced pears. Medium-bodied with flinty and seashell mineral character, as well as some salt and fresh sage. Really spicy. 65% sauvignon and 25% petit marseng, the rest gewurztraminer and semillon. Drink now.
