The name Argentiera derives from ancient silver mines, whose traces are preserved by the history ’s pen since the Etruscans.

The estate extends over 153 hectares and embraces a one-of-a-kind biodiversity, a fundamentally important biological mosaic that allows the vineyards to flourish to their optimum extent, protected from insects, harmful animals, and climate-change stress. Read more
