Argiolas Turriga Isola dei Nuraghi
An intense ruby red color draws you in to a complex bouquet of aromas of ripe red fruits, such as plum and blackcurrant, with spicy notes of cinnamon and vanilla, and hints of tobacco and cocoa. The palate presents freshness with flavors of red and black fruits with notes of herbs, coffee and spices. Founded in 1938 by Antonio Argiolas in Serdiana, Sardinia, in the Trexenta hills just north of the capital of Cagliari. The winery has been a pioneer in promoting quality over quantity in Sardinian winemaking. Collaborating with renowned oenologists, the winery developed Turriga in 1988, aiming to create a wine that embodies the essence of Sardinian terroir.
