In 1967, Argiano, which is the south west quarter of the Brunello appellation, was one of the founder members of the Consorzio di Brunello. In 1992 Contessa Noemi Marone Cinzano bought the estate, and engaged the world-famous Giacomo Tachis (the creator of Sassicaia, Tignanello and Solaia) as consultant oenologist.  \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\"\u003eOver the course of the centuries the Estate passed through various noble families until it came under the inspired leadership of Lady Ersilia Caetani Lovatelli, who was able to promote the products of Argiano in major cultural gatherings at the time.

In 1992 the Estate passed from the Caetani Lovatelli to the Countess Noemi Marone Cinzano, who introduced significant innovations to the management of the wine-making industry and revived the name of Argiano.

Now run by Monica Rinaldi and Paolo Carlo Tenino, the winery stands out for producing only estate-grown wines from their meticulously farmed 10 hectares, focusing on sustainable practices that yield expressive, terroir-driven bottles. New investments in cellar technology and precise vineyard selection ensure the wines express purity, character, and a sense of place, all while remaining true to the heart of Piedmont’s heritage. The San Cristoforo vineyard’s southeast exposure and calcareous-clay soils give their Barbaresco a remarkable aromatic finesse and structure - making the winery exceptional in combining tradition with modern craftsmanship.\u003ca rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"citation ml-xs inline\" data-state=\"closed\" href=\"https:\/\/www.banvillewine.com\/pdf\/en\/producer\/298-pietro-rinaldi.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-0 py-2 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Critic Scores\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePietro Rinaldi San Cristoforo Barbaresco 2020 was awarded 90 points by WineAlign and is applauded for its complexity and long-aging potential.
