Argiano, Solengo, Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy, 2022

Overview of the Wine
Descending from Montalcino towards Tavernelle, Argiano sits atop a plateau at an altitude of approximately 350 meters above sea level. Nestled on the southwestern slope of Montalcino, the estate benefits from ancient calcareous marl soils, formed around 25 million years ago when the ocean covering this region receded, leaving behind marine deposits. Fossils found in our vineyards bear witness to this geological history. This area is among the most suitable for cultivating Sangiovese, thanks to its ventilated microclimate and calcareous marl soils, which enhance the wines’ ageing potential and create a distinctive expression of their unique terroir.

Argiano, one of the oldest wineries in Montalcino, has embraced an innovative and forward-thinking approach while remaining deeply rooted in its history and location. Its philosophy is a journey through time: like Janus, the Roman god with two faces—one looking to the past and the other to the future—Argiano values its centuries-old heritage while designing a future grounded in sustainability, biodiversity, and respect for the vineyard.

Argiano is a place defined by its people—a site infused with dedication, passion, courage, and a profound connection to the land. With nearly 500 years of history, Argiano is a cornerstone of Montalcino’s cultural heritage, where every stone echoes the past of a region steeped in the ancient art of winemaking. This rich history does not hinder progress; instead, it provides a strong foundation for a unified team that works with commitment, harmony, and responsibility to make Argiano a symbol of Italian excellence.
