Winemaking Philosophy
At Argento, we have always had a strong belief that sourcing fruit from a variety of altitudes, soil profiles and microclimates would create more interesting wines with greater complexity and balance.
Our team works hard to find the best balance between terroir, canopy management, and grape variety. We ensure that we make the most of Mendoza’s natural conditions. We nurture our vines so they grow to be healthy and the grapes achieve perfect ripeness. We harvest at the exact moment when the balance between sugar, acids and polyphenols is right.
In the winery, our grapes are pressed with the greatest care and fermented at controlled temperature to extract all the fantastic fruit characters. We protect the must from oxidation at all times to keep our wines as fresh as possible.
We select only the best French and American oak to age our wines and develop the vanilla, tobacco and chocolate flavors bringing even further complexity to the blends of the final wines.
