✍️ Secrets of Tenuta Argentiera

Tenuta Argentiera

Tenuta Argentiera Wine

Tenuta Argentiera, producer of fine “Bordeaux” style wine in the Bolgheri DOC region of Italy, recently hosted a webinar showcasing their fine wine and extraordinary terroir.

Though the winery has its foundation in a castle that can base its origins to the Etruscan and Romans, it is now a modern winery with state-of-the-art technology.

The owner of this venture is Stanislaus Turnauer, an Austrian entrepreneur who assembled a dynamic winemaking team.

This includes CEO Federico Zileri Dal Verme, Nicolo Carrara (oenologist), and GM/agronomist Leonardo Raspini.
