Winemaker Notes

The wine is ruby red with a violet hue. On the nose, the wine has an intense, persistent perfume with notes of ripe fruit and jam. On the palate, the wine is harmonious, full, and warm, with fruity notes. Well-dressed first courses, grilled ventresca tuna, roast suckling pig and kid, well matured cheeses.

92 Wine Enthusiast

Tasted: Jul 2023. Cherries, raspberries, vanilla and baking spices come out at first on the nose of this wine. These are followed by iron-rich soil, the sweaty, savory aromas of cured meats, and then a refreshing blast of licorice. The palate is alive with pepper, chili, cinnamon, galangal and nutmeg. Tannins are mouthclearing and acid searing so this wine still has time to shine.

About the Producer

Argiolas is the foremost wine estate on the island of Sardinia producing archetypal wines from native varietals. Antonio Argiolas, who died in 2009 at the age of 102, inherited seven acres of vines from his father in 1938 and was the first on the island to convert to modern viticulture to pursue quality over quantity. His sons, Franco and Giuseppe, replanted the vineyards in the 1980s with the goal of reducing yields and focusing exclusively on Sardinian grapes. Today, the third generation is at the helm of the estate, led by Valentina, Francesca, and Antonio Argiolas.
