Argiano
Argiano
Established in 1580, (Tenuta di) Argiano boasts a rich and illustrious history as one of the oldest estates in the region and a founding member of the Consorzio del Brunello di Montalcino. The Brazilian financier, André Esteves, purchased the property from Countess Noemie Marone Cinzano in 2013 and extensive investment and development in both the vineyards and cellar have been undertaken in the quest for further greatness, all under the watchful eye of Head Winemaker and CEO. Bernardino Sani. Located to the southwest of Montalcino between the village of Sant’Angelo in Colle and Sant’Angelo Scalo, Argiano own 50-hectares of prime, south-facing vineyards on the plateau, making them a formidable producer in the appellation. Nevertheless, there is no compromise on quality thanks to the mapping of their vineyards into six separate zones by famed Chilean terroir consultant Pedro Parra, to the introduction of organic viticulture as well as the creation of ultra-modern facilities in a new, custom built winery producing multi-layered, balanced, and elegant wines with a true sense of place.
