Deep ruby with garnet hues, this Sardinian Riserva opens with concentrated aromas of dried cherry, sun-baked earth, and Mediterranean scrub, with hints of leather, tobacco, and warm spice. On the palate, rich flavors of black plum, pomegranate, and dried herbs are framed by firm but polished tannins. The elevated alcohol lends generous body, while a long, savory finish with notes of dark chocolate and dried rosemary reflects the island's sun-drenched terroir.

Key characteristics
About this wine
Argiolas makes this Riserva from Cannonau, Sardinia's own strain of Grenache, grown on the island under the Cannonau di Sardegna DOC. Riserva status means extra time in cask and bottle before release, giving the wine more structure and depth than a standard bottling. At 14.5% ABV, it carries the warmth and ripeness the variety is known for on this sun-baked island.
Expect a generous, savoury red with dark cherry fruit, dried herb notes and a firm, warming finish. Serve at 16-18°C alongside lamb, venison or beef, or with a hearty pasta dish where the wine's structure has something to push against.
