Rinomata Cantina Tombacco
For more than 100 years the Tombacco family has been producing and bottling
wines with genuine and intense flavours, following Italian wine-making traditions.
And, the wines it procures are key Italian classics.
The Rinomata Cantina Tombacco (Renowned Tombacco Winery) was founded in
1919 and is based in Trebaseleghe, a rural town just a few kilometres away from
Padua, Venice and Treviso. Tradition and quality is key for Tombacco which works
with producers across Italy to create ranges which celebrate the diversity of the
country and its regions.
Today, Cristian Tombacco is at the helm, working alongside his father

Ever had a wine that came
in a concrete bottle before?
Nether had we until we found the extraordinary Le
Argille Cabernet Di Cabernet from 47 Anno Domini
Vineyards - a 50/50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and
Cabernet Franc from Treviso, Italy.
A serious bottle such as this merits a serious wine and
Le Argille does not disappoint - the winemaker calls
this ‘a strong, serious and unique wine’. Le Argille is
aged in cement for two years which keeps the wine
immaculate and free of aromatic interference (ie, from
a barrel) ensuring its uniqueness and its warm, elegant
and mature flavour remains intact.
This outstanding wine is the result of a wise coupage
of Cabernet grapes obtained through the Double
Reasoned Maturation (DMR) technique, which is
applied directly in the vineyard. This technique consists
of clamping select branches before the grapes reach
a complete maturation. This means the grapes start
to age while still on the vine resulting in a greater
concentration of sugar giving more structure and
strength to the wine.
Le Argille is aged in concrete for two years
The wine is aged into cement vats for 24 months, after
that the winery team performs a sensory test to decide
when the best time to bottle is. After which the wine is
then aged further for at least 6 months.
