Meet the Producer: Argiano

  • The Wine Whisperer 11535 West Broad Street Henrico, VA, 23233 United States (map)

Join Margherita for an in depth tasting of five incredible wines from Brunello and Tuscany paired alongside some small bites from the Bistro kitchen. We’ll have two tasting sessions: one at 6 pm and one at 8 pm.

Argiano's wines have been known since the late-16th century, when the noble Pecci family built a lovely villa and adjoining cellar (which still serves as their headquarters today). Since 2013 the estate is owned by Brazilian entrepreneur André Esteves, who relaunched the range, entrusting production to Bernardino Sani and Francesco Monari. Now Argiano is one of the most eco-sustainable wineries in Montalcino. Plastic-free since 2019, it practises organic agriculture by banning even natural pesticides in the vineyard, and reuses all the waste produced in the cellar. What is most striking when tasting Argiano wines is a style that we could define as exquisitely contemporary. This for aromatic cleanliness, finesse, fragrance, with an increasingly faithful and defined territorial transparency, yielding wines that offer at the same time a marked pleasure to drink, with medium body and increasingly light and precise tannic extractions. The leap in terms of quality over the last 5 years is truly impressive.

This tasting is for the Italian wine lover!

$50 per person. Limited seats available. Purchase tickets here.
