The Turriga Argiolas is undoubtedly a majestic red, which in the glass reveals its intense ruby ​​red and releases a seductive bouquet, complex and balanced at the same time, giving evolutionary hints of berries, jam and Mediterranean aromatic herbs, to close with roasted notes of cocoa and coffee beans. The taste reveals itself up to its fame, through the rich, full-bodied sip, with great structure, elegant and a fine and persistent finish. A satisfying and classy wine.
This is a benchmark wine in Sardinia. The 2013 Turriga flows from the bottle with sun-drenched generosity and plum-like ripeness. This celebrated blend is composed of 85% Cannonau, 5% Carignano, 5% Bovale and 5% Malvasia Nera. It ages in oak for up to two years. This vintage most certainly delivers the goods with intensity and a proud sense of exuberance. Those black fruit nuances are smooth, velvety and soft. Exotic spice, tobacco and leather reach just the right level without going overboard. The mouthfeel is broad and all encompassing.
Deep ruby red, in the nose it expresses elegant notes of currants, plums, tobacco and leather, and sweet spices. A toasted trace opens up to a palate of immense structure, balanced, fine and persistent, concentrated and warm, with a finish merging into liquorice.

Sardinia is an Italian island located in the Mediterranean Sea. The island has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the Nuragic civilization that inhabited the island over 3,000 years ago. The island's unique terroir, with its hot and dry climate, rocky soil, and sea breezes, has led to the production of distinctive wines.

The most famous wine produced in Sardinia is Cannonau, a red wine made from the Grenache grape. Cannonau is known for its rich, full-bodied flavor and high alcohol content. Other red wines produced on the island include Carignano, Monica, and Bovale.

Sardinia also produces white wines, including Vermentino, a crisp and refreshing wine with citrus and floral notes. Nuragus is another white wine produced on the island, known for its light and delicate flavor.

In addition to wine, Sardinia is also known for its production of Mirto, a traditional liqueur made from the berries of the myrtle plant. Mirto is typically served as a digestif after a meal and has a sweet and herbal flavor.
