A rich and flavorful red with balance and finesse yet structure and beautiful. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a long, long finish. Plenty of ripe fruit and wonderful spicy character. Always one of the best reds on the island. Drink or hold.
Producer
Argiolas
A leading name in Italian wine, Argiolas is Sardinia’s quintessential estate, producing emblematic wines from native varietals. Founded in 1938, the late Antonio Argiolas was the first on the island to convert his property to modern viticulture, aiming for quality, instead of quantity. Today, his sons, Franco and Giuseppe, manage the now 250-hectares of vineyards. Planted to native Sardinian grapes, such as Cannonau and Bovale Sardo, the 5 separate plots of vineyards also consist of a couple Mediterranean varieties, like Carignan and Malvasia Nera. The winery produces both a classic line of wines - that are fresh and bottled under various DOCs, including Vermentino di Sardegna and Cannonau di Sardegna – as well as, a prestige selection of wines – aged in French barriques, labeled as the Isola del Nuraghi IGT, including Korem and several others.
