Noemi Marone Cinzano

[2] Cinzano took over her father's vermouth business after his death in 1990, and in 1992 she bought the Tenuta di Argiano, a 16th-century 120 acre (50ha) vineyard, in a 100 hectares (250 acres) estate; produced 337,000 bottles of wine which included 109,000 Brunello di Montalcino wine.

[6] In February 2013 Cinzano sold the Tenuta di Argiano estate to an undisclosed "group of international investors" for reportedly near 50 million euros.

[4][9] Together with her partner and winemaking consultant, Hans Vinding-Diers, she co-founded the Noemía de Patagonia in 2002, in Argentina.

This Bodega Noemìa de Patagonia's project had been established in 1998 by subsuming an old vine Malbec vineyard in the Rio Negro Valley that was planted in the 1930s and 1950s.

[4][10] The vines are ungrafted and planted on their rootstock in the Patagonian Desert which has little risk of developing phylloxera.
