Maremma, Tuscany, Italy –
If the image of rolling hills and stately Tuscan pines of Chianti is firmly implanted it may be challenging to realise that Tuscany has an extended sea coast. The Maremma occupies the south-west of Tuscany and extends into northern Lazio. It is home to beaches, marshes, cowboys, sheepdogs and bistecca destined for the tables of Florence.
Sangiovese gets a new name too – here it is called Morellino di Scansano and allowed blending material includes ciliegiolo (a reference to its cherry charcters) and alicante.
Bellamarsilia (named for the famous Maremma tower) is Poggio Argentiera’s take on Maremma sangiovese and it is utterly delicious. The nose is fine and perfumed with intense cherry scents and the faintest whiff of currant, unimpeded by oak. It has a gentle sangiovese grip but the fruit is fullsome enough to counterbalance.
This wine is seriously interesting and enjoyable drinking.

Pinot Shop is located in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia at 135 Paterson Street down at the river end near Cataract Gorge, Stillwater Restaurant and The Mill Providore. We specialise in the best of premium pinot noir as grown so beautifully in the cool climes of Tasmania, New Zealand and southern parts of the big Australian continent. Our love for pinot extends to its sibling styles pinot gris and grigio and fizzy cousins sparkling wine and Champagne, even when they don’t contain pinot noir.
That’s not to say we’ve become too exclusive - we also stock an interesting range of delicious wines for those (rare) times when you’re not drinking pinot…
