Non Confunditur’s initials N.C., are often thought to refer to Noemi Cinzano, Argiano's longstanding owner. The truth however is 'Non Confunditur' is the Latin term written on Argiano’s crest and was the motto of the former owners, the Lovateli Gaetani d'Aragona family. We baptized this wine as Non Confunditur to honor the prestigious and glorious past of Argiano. Non Confunditur is a unique marriage of both Tuscan and French grapes. Since 2002, NC has taken its place next to the best Tuscan blends.
The wine is fermented in stainless steel and by variety in two and three-year-old oak. Expect plummy, savoury, wild berry aromas with a touch of oak, while on the palate, it is a medium rich red with earthy, savoury, Tuscan red-black fruits you can drink or hold. For now, grilled meats or spaghetti Bolognese are good matches.
Complex aromas of blackcurrants, black licorice, violets, sandalwood and graphite. Medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit in the center palate and fine, chewy tannins that run the length of the wine. Crunchy and chewy.
