This is a blend of 90% Cannonau (Grenache), 5% Bovale Sardo, and 5% Carignano.
The Cannonau contributes ripe red fruits and smoothness, the Bovale Sardo adds structure, and Carignano builds on color and savory tension.
Argiolas is considered the island’s leading winery producing quality driven wines, dating back to 1938. Their ‘Costera’ vineyard covers 88 acres and sits on calcareous clay‑loam soils, at an elevation of 725 ft.
Enticing aromas of strawberries and dark cherries dominate the nose.
The palate is broader with layers of dark cherry liqueur, ripe strawberries, and vanilla/oak with secondary notes of blackberries, herbs, and spices, framed by rounded, polished tannins, firm energetic acidity, and impressive balance. There is an engaging sweetness at its core that adds to the overall balance and appeal.
This has another 5 – 7 years of aging before revealing its true self.
Food pairings should include Grilled ribeye or New York strip, Herb‑marinated pork shoulder or chops, Bolognese pasta, Sausage and mushroom risotto, and Pizza with spicy salami or roasted vegetables.
