Description
Argiolas Turriga is a deep red wine native to Sardinia, produced with a blend of grapes, predominantly Cannonau, but also including Bovale, Carignano, and Malvasia Nera. It is from this blend of flavors that this full-bodied and distinctive red wine derives. The story of Argiolas Turriga begins with its creator, Antonio Argiolas, who has been passionate about farming since he was just a child. In his beloved Sardinia, he and his brothers founded the family-run Argiolas winery in Selegas in 1946. The winery comprises many hectares of vineyards and a winery that is still active today.

From their grand old man, a monument to an extraordinary entrepreneurial history, they have picked up the stubbornness and sense of challenge to the world, the simple and authentic joy of harvesting and crushing, the passion that springs from the bubbling musts and the effervescent young wines, the personality that defines the tenacious and mature wines, as soft as the limestone in which their roots are sunk, perfumed and savoury like the sea, long-lived like Sardinians.
In 1979 Antonio Argiolas, an established local entrepreneur, went to Argentina and California. These travels were a source of inspiration for him, and represented the beginning of a revolution; in fact these showed him the needs to overcome the parcelling out the countryside, which was widespread on the island, and to employ technologically advanced machines to work larger expanses of land under single ownership.
So, he acquired the lands of Selegas-Sa Tanca and Susini, the Winery’s largest estates. These are the places that Argiolas wine speak of, emblems of the strength, courage and farsightedness of the idea. Read more
