About the Producer:
From its historic
past to the glorious present, Villa Argiano 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 (the Vermouth
king) and finally into the hands of Countess Noemi Marone Cinzano.
She made dramatic changes in a quest for a Brunello with an appeal
to the international style. Here she brought in 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 delle 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.
