Exploring Argillae: a unique experience among extraordinary
white wines and marine fossils, focused on sustainability and
respect for nature.
The Argillae winery, located just a few kilometers north of the beautiful city of Orvieto, is a true oasis nestled in the woods and surrounded by gentle hills. With a surface area of 120 hectares, 15 of which are vineyards, Argillae offers a unique experience for nature and wine lovers.
Leading this fascinating establishment is Giulia, a determined and passionate young entrepreneur, who will guide you through the tour and the tasting of their extraordinary wines.
Explore the terroir and the collection of marine fossils
What makes this winery unique is, as its name suggests, its limestone-clay terroir, which shapes wines rich in structure and freshness. Through a tour of the vineyards, you can discover the secrets of organic farming and the sustainable practices adopted to produce healthy grapes closely connected to the land. But the real wonder will be searching, between the rows of vines, for marine fossils dating back to the Pliocene epoch. Who would have thought that you’d be collecting “seashells” in Umbria—a region famous for being landlocked, untouched by the sea?
The Essence of Argillae: Exceptional White Wines at the Heart of Tradition and
Innovation
If you are a lover of white wines, then you are in the right place. The heart of production here is represented by white wines made from native grapes. Among these, Grechetto stands out for its extent and importance: a native Umbrian grape variety and a true emblem of the region’s wine production.
The winery, modern and spread over two floors, features steel tanks and an impressive barrel cellar that will astonish you with its colors inspired by the beautiful Orvieto Cathedral—a small cathedral of wine that houses the winery’s most important wines. Let’s get into the details: let’s talk about the wines.
The Primo D’Anfora: The True Gem of the Winery
Looking for another reason to visit Argillae? If what we’ve mentioned so far isn’t enough… let us reveal the true gem of the winery: the Primo D’Anfora, a white wine made from native grapes, fermented and aged in 500-liter terracotta amphorae.
This powerful and refined white wine is left to rest in its own earth, the clay from which the grapes are born. With only 1,980 hand-numbered bottles, the Primo D’Anfora represents a true milestone in wine production, bringing wine back to its origins.
