In the hills of Parteòlla, where a salty inland lake shimmers between centuries-old olive trees and the Romanesque church of Santa Maria di Sibiola sends its silent prayers to heaven, lies the enchanting Tenuta Iselis. Here, the Argiolas family is realising a very special project: the rediscovery of Nasco, an almost forgotten indigenous grape variety that was once brought to Sardinia by Phoenician seafarers. The name Nasco is probably derived from the Latin "muscus" – musk – a tribute to the extraordinary fragrance of this rare grape. While Nasco is traditionally vinified into sweet wines, Argiolas has chosen the innovative method of dry vinification: the grapes are harvest a month earlier, resulting in a modern white wine of particular elegance.

Bright straw yellow with greenish reflections. On the nose, yellow flowers and tropical fruit and characteristic musky notes, while hints of honeydew melon and subtle vanilla tones round off the olfactory complexity. On the palate, the wine is velvety and enveloping, with a harmonious balance between freshness and fullness that leads to a long, pleasant final. Iselis Bianco epitomises Argiolas' philosophy of respectful innovation: an ancient Sardinian grape variety in a contemporary interpretation, a wine that combines tradition and modernity in perfect harmony.
