The Wine That Unites Time
A Journey Through Land and Memory
ARGO 1865 is more than a wine project—it’s a return to origins.
Born from the hills of the Val di Chiana in Tuscany, ARGO revives forgotten vineyards, ancestral recipes, and timeless expressions of Tuscan character.
Founded by Andrea and Alberto, ARGO crafts limited-production wines from old vines and heritage sites.
Each bottle tells a story—not of trends, but of memory, patience, and authenticity.
This is not a label for everyone. It’s for those who believe wine can still surprise us by looking backward.
Tenuta di Torriolo
Set atop the western Val di Chiana, Tenuta di Torriolo spans 14 hectares of vineyard and six centuries of history.
Once the estate of Count de’ Rocchi, it remains a symbol of community, craftsmanship, and resilience.
Here, ARGO brings forgotten winemaking traditions back to life—blending low-intervention practices, native grapes, and dynamic aging to reconnect wine with its soul.
Every vineyard is treated as a living archive of the Tuscan landscape, where biodiversity and human care intertwine.
The Philosophy
“ARGO is the wine that unites time.”
Each vintage is a bridge between past and present—a dialogue between ancient methods and modern precision.
Our wines embody the harmony of history and innovation, preserving the emotional truth of Tuscan winemaking while evolving it for today.
