The name 'Argento' comes from the Latin word for silver and embodies the unique spirit and passion of Argentina. Argento brings to life the strong silver thread of tradition that runs through the veins of the country and pays homage to Argentina's long history of crafting quality wines. Argento's team works hard to bring the essence of Argentina. They select only the best grapes, from the best locations, in the best vineyards. Fruit purity and elegance are the hallmarks of their style. The use of fruit from high altitude, cooler climate vineyards has enabled AWC to create elegant wines with fruit purity and finesse.

With more than 392.484 acre of vineyards, Mendoza is Argentina's foremost wine-producing Province. In fact it is in this Province where more than 80% of all Argentine wine is manufactured. In Mendoza, today we find a quality oriented industry under constant development and with a focus on the achievement of the best terroir-variety relationships possible. Certainly, Mendoza features an enviable array of grape varieties, given the Province ´s considerable altitude and range: from 1640 to 4921 ft above sea level. Mendoza ´s basic viticultural geography can be divided into three large oases: one in the North, on the basin of the Mendoza and Tunuyan Rivers, one in the Center, and one in the South, washed by the Diamante and Atuel Rivers. By carefully studying the Province ´s territory, however, one can discover a multiplicity of features distributed among a number of highly differentiated terroirs, each terroir having its own altitude and soil characteristics. These terroirs, coupled with Mendoza's protracted, dry and mild-weathered fall season, enable wine producers and enologists to materialize the dream of producing wines of their own design - harvest decisions being made based on their desired degrees of grape maturity.
