In the hills of Parteòlla, where a salty inland lake glistens amongst centuries-old olive trees and the Romanesque church of Santa Maria di Sibiola sends its silent prayers skywards, lies the enchanting Tenuta Iselis. Here, the Argiolas family is bringing a very special project to life: the rediscovery of Nasco, an almost forgotten indigenous grape variety that was once brought to Sardinia by Phoenician sailors. The name Nasco is thought to derive from the Latin "muscus" – musk – a tribute to the extraordinary fragrance of this rare grape. Whilst Nasco is traditionally vinified into sweet wines, Argiolas has opted for the innovative approach of dry vinification: the harvest are harvest a month earlier, resulting in a modern white wine of exceptional elegance.

Bright straw yellow with greenish highlights. The bouquet features yellow flowers and tropical fruits, along with characteristic musky notes, whilst hints of honeydew melon and subtle vanilla notes round off the olfactory complexity. On the palate, the wine is velvety and enveloping, with a harmonious balance between freshness and fullness, leading to a long, pleasant final. Iselis Bianco embodies Argiolas' philosophy of respectful innovation: an ancient Sardinian grape variety given a contemporary interpretation, a wine that perfectly harmonises tradition and modernity.
