Argentiera:

The Argentiera estate covers a total of 153 hectares. The land is lined with avenues of pine trees, olive trees and woodland and boasts a unique biodiversity that provides the vines with optimal growing conditions, as they are largely protected from insect pests and wild animals and are not exposed to climatic stress.

The alternating succession of cultivated areas with Mediterranean scrub favours the formation of large corridors for the continuous sea breeze, which ensures a mild, dry climate all year round.

The wind and the pronounced day-night temperature fluctuations during the grape ripening period are a major advantage of Argentiera's geographical position. The arrangement of the vineyards in the form of an amphitheatre, which absorbs the light reflected from the sea, helps to take full advantage of this microclimate, which is unique to Bolgheri. The 85 hectares of vineyards are divided into four clearly demarcated and geomorphologically heterogeneous areas.
