Argiano
From its historic past to the glorious present, the Argiano
estate has always demanded attention. Founded in 1580, Villa
Argiano was thought to be an ancient place where wise men
searched out Ara Jani, the legendary altar of the Roman
god Janus. Built during the Renaissance, this noble land
was passed from nobility to the Cinzano family (owners of
the eponymous Vermouth) and subsequently into the capable
hands of Countess Noemi Marone Cinzano.
The Countess instituted dramatic changes in a quest to
craft a wine with international appeal. To this end, she
enlisted Italy’s renowned enologist Giacomo Tachis
(Sassicaia, Tignanello, Vigna d'Alceo), who developed the
Super Tuscan Solengo, and supervisor Sebastiano Rosa –
nephew to Sassicaia’s Marchese Incisa della Rocchetta
– who spent six years at UC Davis as well as working
at both Lafite Rothschild and Sassicaia. These forces combined
with Mother Nature's blessing deliver wines of spellbinding
proportions.
