Turriga is the great red of Sardinia – developed in 1988 by Antonio Argiolas and Giacomo Tachis, from Cannonau, Bovale, Carignano and Malvasia Nera, named after a 5,000-year-old marble statuette of the Mother Goddess found on the estate and now in the Archaeological Museum of Cagliari. The Grappe di Turriga is its echo: created from the same grape marc, from the same terraces at 230 metres near Selegas – calcareous, stony soils, Mediterranean heat, the salt of the nearby sea in every breath of wind. Immediately after the Turriga is vinified, the pomace is taken to the distillery and distilled using the slow Bagnomaria method – a gentle method that preserves the flavours without burning them. No wood maturation, no intervention.

The result is crystal clear. On the nose, fine herbal notes of the Mediterranean maquis, wild flowers and a hint of strawberry tree honey. Soft and velvety on the palate, with a round structure and a long, elegantly spicy finish. 42% vol – full-bodied, not heavy. A grappe that keeps Sardinia in the glass. SUPERIORE.DE
