SC- 2019 Argiolas Isola dei Nuraghi "Turriga"

Argiolas is Sardinia's top wine estate, known for its native varietals. Antonio Argiolas modernized viticulture in 1938, and his sons continued this legacy, focusing on Sardinian grapes. The estate, with 600 acres in Trexenta and Sulcis, produces classic wines under DOCs like Vermentino di Sardegna and Cannonau di Sardegna, as well as prestige offerings such as Korem and Turriga, aged in French barriques. Sardinia, the Mediterranean’s second-largest island, is influenced by Spanish grape varieties and features regions like the Costa Smeralda for Vermentino and the southwest for Carignano.

"A beautifully curated and polished young red with black berry, violet, and bark. Full and velvety with creamy textured tannins and a flavorful finish. Juicy. Lovely to drink now but even better in two or three years."
- James Suckling, 94 Points

"Turriga is a powerful red wine that requires time in bottle to show its full complexity. Upon release, Turriga is densely packed with powerful tannins and tightly wound fruit, thus decanting is recommended. With time in bottle, Turriga reveals multiple layers of Mediterranean herbs, roasted coffee, spices, and licorice with a generous core of black and red fruit."
