Description
Argo Brewery was born in 2013 combining our skill, but mostly our big passion for craft quality beer.
The idea to have as our logo an airship was due to the fact that after have travelled many places and visited different breweries we thought to remember these great experiences gathering them, all inside a yellow airship that flies over the world. In Greek mythology, Argo was the name of the Argonaut’s ship, they were travelling searching for the Golden Fleece, instead on board of our airship we flies searching for new flavors, styles and ingredients!
We make beer because it’s what we love to do… and we want simply tell..

(29.11.2015) Aged on Haderburg Pinot Noir Barrique vs. Barrique of Tenuta San Leonardo (other version listed on here). Sampled 375 ml. bottle @ “Vini Birre Ribelli 2015”. Sampled both versions. Labels had different colours & in the back you could read barrel numbers. Barrel 2: Deep amber, some bubbles. Nose is big sherry oxidation, walnut, spirit, oak, vinous, thick spices, dry,… Taste is big sherry oxidation, red wine, marzipan, mild funk, very dry oak, grape, almond,… Very dry, near flat oxidation body. Barrel 1: Way deeper red amber, bubbles only. Smell carries more rich oak qualities than the firs one, almond, marzipan, still very heavy sherry & walnut oxidation, oxidized red wine. Vanilla, almond, sugar, candy, hugely dry red wine & very big oxidation taste, oak, vanilla, barrel. Bode dry, flat oxidized body. You can fault these for very heavy oxidation but I really dug the dry grape, oak & sherry flavours. Consider me a ban. 4.4/5 for Barrel 2. 4.6/5 for Barrel 1.
