Argiolas

Rosato Serralori of the Argiolas family is a cuvée of Cannonau, Monica and Carignano. Pleasantly fragrant of exotic fruits, harmonious, fresh, round and full-bodied on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

Fragrant blue flowers, Mediterranean herbs, cherry and wild berry flavours flow from the glass. On the lively palate, juicy black cherry, blackberry and a ground pepper note accompanied by supple tannins. Very accessible, balanced and harmonious. SUPERIORE.DE

Creamy, fragrant white. The fine floral bouquet with a hint of citrus blossom and delicate almond notes is a dream. This brilliant wine is wild and mild at the same time. Sweetness and acidity are wonderfully balanced, the finish flowing, slightly salty and wonderfully soft. SUPERIORE.DE

Intense Carignano from a master hand at a small price. Rich ruby red in the glass, the nose is surrounded by small black-red fruits with a wild primal expression that we only find in the rough, untouched landscape of Sardinia. Beautiful spice with a soft, yet clearly recognisable interpretation of Sardinian red wines, just the way we love them. Wonderful drinking flow. SUPERIORE.DE

"Tar and licorice aromas with some earth and black berry character. Lead pencil. It’s medium- to full-bodied with lovely fruit and a juicy finish. Real carignan character." James Suckling

Powerful fragrance, showing –fruity tones, but also spicy nuances. Very appealing on the palate, full and hearty, well structured and with the certain finesse of a –wine. SUPERIORE.DE

The single-varietal Vermentino Meri presents itself stylish and crisp. Wonderful notes of lemon, honey, orange and apple in the fragrance. Fresh and lively, but at the same time full and intense. The grapes are cooled in the vineyard immediately after harvest and are protected from oxidation - this way they preserve their best possible aroma and the wine gets a richer, more complex bouquet. SUPERIORE.DE

"Plenty of pear, green melon and green apple aromas follow through to a medium body, with bright fruit and a steely undertone. Bitter lemon at the end. Flavorful in the finish." James Suckling

Fine fragrance of melon, peach and flowers. Deep, creamy texture on the palate, generous and fresh. A delicious, fresh and very complex white from Argiolas from predominantly Nasco with a small part of Vermentino. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very intense flavors of dried lemons with zest and salty undertones. It’s medium- to full-bodied with so much flavor and phenolic tension. Minerally and spicy at the end. You can taste the sea." James Suckling

Strong dark red colour in the glass. Bright fresh and juicy red berry and cherry fruit on the nose and in the mouth, with a delicate herbal component and notes of mint, flowers, sultanas and cinnamon. The finish is long, bright and juicy with hints of flinty minerals adding further complexity and drinking pleasure. The finish is bright, pure and leaves you wanting more ... SUPERIORE.DE

"Fascinating pure Monica, processed with fine maceration and aged in barriques. Classic nose of bramble plum, with notes of underbrush and myrtle, then balsamic and cinnamon touches. On the palate, it has brackish tannins, a fruity return and spicy hints." Luca Gardini

Single-varietal Vermentino: fruity aromas reminiscent of exotic yellow fruit and nutty aromas of fresh almonds, with a varietal taste and a fine, vibrant acid wire. A drop of the highest quality and the Vermentino flagship of the traditional winery. SUPERIORE.DE

"A ripe and flavorful vermentino with dried peaches and apples as well as some hints of biscuit. It’s full and rich with layers of fruit and flavors. Some licorice and earth at the end as well as tropical fruit. This is a rich wine for richer dishes or just drinking on its own." James Suckling

Straw yellow with green reflections and with visible fine perlage from 30 days of yeast storage. Fine citrus notes with further nuances of yellow fruit such as pear or mild apple, slightly nutty in the background. Fresh, invigorating bubbler with the necessary depth and noticeable body that does credit to its famous producer. SUPERIORE.DE

The barrique-aged Is Solinas, which was vinified for the first time as a Riserva from 100% Carignano in 2014, is remarkable. Deep red in colour, independent, finely spicy bouquet, hints of red fruits and balsamic notes. In the mouth, the astonishing extract fullness shows, dense, soft, harmonious, complex and long-lasting. SUPERIORE.DE

"Slate and dried berry character with some walnut and bark undertones with mushroom. Full-bodied and layered with lots of fruit and intensity. Juicy tannins and chewy texture but it’s polished and very pretty. Better in a year or two but already excellent." James Suckling

Typical, bright green olive oil, fresh and intensely fragrant. The olives are harvested by hand and the oil is extracted in a continuous process. Ideally suited for cold and warm Italian cuisine. SUPERIORE.DE

Olive varieties: 70% Tonda di Cagliara, 30% Pizz'e Carroga

Senes, a Riserva made predominantly from Cannonau, has an intense bouquet of aromas of wild berries, Mediterranean herbs and tobacco. Full-bodied and "umami" on the palate with profound fruit, rounded tannins, balanced structure and beguiling length. Very straightforward, fresh and sincere in its style. SUPERIORE.DE

"A firm and fine tannined red with berries, walnuts, earth, bark and dried shiitake mushrooms. It’s medium-bodied with subtle yet decadent fruit. Some kelp and pine undertones in the finish." James Suckling

Korem is a wine that perfectly interprets the Argiolas family philosophy: Innovation with deep respect for Sardinian tradition. A wine born from the desire to enhance and perfect the Bovale vine. Bovale is a low-yielding grape variety, as it requires well-aerated soils with excellent exposure. It is refined in Korem by the addition of Carignano and Cannonau, two other traditional Sardinian grape varieties.

Korem shines in deep ruby red from the glass. Intense aromas of black cherry, sandalwood and lavender on the nose. Velvety, full-bodied, warm and round in the mouth. A refined top wine that impressively reflects the great potential of the family winery. SUPERIORE.DE

"I love the aromas of blackberries, graphite and walnut with cedar. Full-bodied with ultra-fine tannins that run the length of the wine, showing class and sophistication. Creamy and finely textured. Needs three to four years to soften." James Suckling

Angialis is a fine –late harvest wine that begins its seduction with a bouquet of apricots, honey and candied fruits, followed by a refined, unobtrusively sweet taste. SUPERIORE.DE

Delightful, full-fruited dessert wine on the occasion of the 100th birthday of the founder Antonio Argiolas. Radiant ruby red, intense, berry bouquet, notes of honey, cardamom and cinnamon. Full on the palate, lots of ripe, sweet fruit, after figs, then again rich spicy notes, very long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Bright golden yellow colour and a creamy bouquet of exotic fruits, banana and almond. The fruit finely balanced with the barrique tones. Soft, warm and dense on the palate, of wonderful freshness, structure and suppleness. Good ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

In 1991, Turriga was one of the first bottled wines ever exported from the island. Turriga has a 100% Sardinian soul - the famous blend of the four autochthonous grape varieties Cannonau, Carignano, Bovale Sardo and Malvasia Nera was once created by the famous OenologistGiacomo Tachis and is continued today by his "heir" Mariano Murru, technical director and Oenologist Argiolas. The DNA of this exceptional wine sounds as simple as it is perfect: the Cannonau base gives structure, the Carignano the roundness and fullness, the Bovale the richness of the fruit and the Malvasia provides the well-balanced portion of tannins.

Mariano goes into raptures and describes his top wine as follows: "It has a deep ruby colour and an enveloping taste of almost spherical softness, with tannins of great finesse that support and accompany the drink. The lively fruit is supported by a balanced acidity and spice that refreshes the palate and prolongs an indescribable finish of rare elegance."

Bravo, Mariano! We have loved the elegant bouquet of plums, the opulent dark fruit, the finely tuned vanilla note and the subtle hint of tobacco for decades. Superbly structured and long-lasting on the finish. A masterpiece every year! SUPERIORE.DE

"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." James Suckling

"An incredible wine, one of the highest creations of Sardinian oenology. Cannonau, Carignano, Bovale and Malvasia Nera in a blend, blueberries on the nose, a hint of bay leaves, nutmeg on the finish. Spicy on the palate too, with salty tannins, nice juiciness and lingering drinkability." Luca Gardini

Turriga, the flagship wine of the Argiolas family and probably the best red wine in Sardinia, celebrates its 30th birthday with the 2018 vintage!

"Complex and subtle aromas of brambleberries, blackberries, cloves and perfume. Full-bodied with tannins that are round-textured and rather soft, but there's still plenty of structure. It’s long and very flavorful, but reserved at the same time. Another three or four years should take this to another level. Try after 2025." James Suckling

"The 2017 Korem is a sweetly scented and perfumed effort presenting notes of crushed black cherries and spicy oak front and center. Its textures are velvety and rich in feel, with polished black fruits offset by hints of bitter espresso bean and tobacco. A fine coating of tannin lingers through the youthfully structured finale, along with hints of plum, licorice and lavender." Vinous
