Argentiera, perched at the southern tip of the Bolgheri DOC, is one of Tuscany’s most breathtaking estates, stretching toward the Tuscan archipelago and rising to 200 meters above sea level. Its south- and southwest-facing slopes benefit from a unique microclimate, where cooling Tyrrhenian breezes and reflected sunlight help grapes achieve optimal ripeness, while diverse soils—from limestone and clay to sand and pebbles—add complexity to their wines. With vineyards harvested and vinified parcel by parcel to preserve the expression of each site, Argentiera combines lofty elevation, maritime influence, and careful winemaking to create wines that reflect both the beauty and singularity of its Maremma terroir.
