At the summit of a wonderful hill, south-west of Montalcino, stands the magnificent Villa of Argiano. The villa was built in the Renaissance era between 1561 and 1596 by the Peccis family, a noble family from Siena.

The estate changed hands many times from the 16th centrury until it was purchase by Lady Ersilia Caetani Lovatelli, who succeeded in introducing and promoting Argiano's wines in the finest cultural circles of the time. In 1992, the Estate again change hands when it was purchased by Countess Noemi Marone Cinzano in 1992. She grew up in vineyards belonging to her family and after traveling the world decided to purchase Argiano and make the estate her own. She began working with the internationally acclaimed oenologist Giacomo Tachis, a partnership which led to the birth of the Supertuscan Solengo; the cultivation of the Sangiovese vineyards was expanded, and the cellars were renovated and modernised.  Most recently, in 2013 Argiano was purchase by a group of Braziallian Businessmen.   

Argiano's vineyards are blessed with a fortunate micro-climate and enviable position both of which contribute to favourable development of the grapes. The close proximity of Argiano to Monte Amiata, one of Tuscany's highest peaks, shelters the area from bad weather. This enables Argiano to produce year after year high profile and consistently good vintages known for their incredible drinkability and ageability.
