The origins of the Argiano winery date back to the late 16th century, when the noble Pecci family from Siena built the splendid Villa di Argiano with an adjoining wine cellar on a hill overlooking the Orca river in the southwest of Montalcino. Later the estate changed hands several times. In 1992 the historical property was taken over by the countess Noemi Marone Cinzano. With the aim of producing an extremely high-quality Brunello di Montalcino in mind, the businesswoman chose the famous Tuscan wine expert Giacomo Tachis as her enologist. The proud Brunello of Argiano was joined in the course of time by the Supertoscan Solengo - still a top product in its class today - and the Sangiovese Suolo, which also received many awards for its pure variety. In 2004, Hans Vinding-Diers replaced Tachis. Since the change of staff, the farm has been organically cultivated and modern winemaking techniques have been used. At the beginning of 2013, the farm passed into the ownership of a new owner.
In recent years the winery, which was a founding member of the Brunello Consortium in 1967 together with other historic wineries in the region, has experienced good times. While the ancient cellars are still used today for the storage of noble wines during the development phase, the winemaking facilities are located in a cellar equipped with state-of-the-art technology that blends in perfectly with the landscape.
The hospitable Argiano winery, which also runs the Posta l'Orciaia farmhouse, now covers a total area of 125 hectares with 51 hectares divided between several denominations of vineyards, olive groves and woods. The vineyards are almost all oriented towards the south and are excellently ventilated. The vineyards are dominated by the typical chalk soils of the region with clay deposits. The stock density is comparatively high at 7,000 plants per hectare. The red grape varieties Sangiovese di Montalcino (Brunello), Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are cultivated on the estate.
