About Tenuta Argentiera Bolgheri

Part of an old Florentine estate, Tenuta Argentiera is owned by brothers Corrado and Marcello Fratini. In ancient times, the rich Etruscan land was dotted with canals, natural springs and sliver deposits making an ideal terroir for Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah – grapes typically used in the Bolgheri area. Dedicated to producing powerfully elegant, full bodied wines, the Tenuta Argentiera portfolio is emblematic of the superb excellence of the wines coming from this region.
