“Is Solinas” Isola dei Nuraghi IGT Is Solinas is the perfect expression of this island’s unspoiled landscape and exotic beauty, made primarily from Carignano with a small component of Bovale Sardo grapes that come from some rare pre-phylloxera vineyards. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and then refined in a combination of 50% new and 50% second-passage barriques and cement vats for one year.


“Korem” Isola dei Nuraghi IGT Korem is a blend of Bovale Sardo, Carignano, and Cannonau, three red grapes with origins in Spain that typify Sardinian viticulture. The wine is a more elegant counterpart to Turriga thanks to the aromatic Bovale Sardo. The label is that of an Ancient Greek coin found in the vineyards of the Argiolas property.

“Turriga” Isola dei Nuraghi IGT Over many generations, the Argiolas family has worked diligently to become the leader in Sardinian enology. In many ways, Turriga embodies the fulfillment of this goal. This wine is blended with a base of Cannonau and small additions each of Carignano, Bovale Sardo, and Malvasia Nera, all meticulously hand-selected from the Turriga estate in the countryside of S’elegas-Piscina Trigus. Turriga is the flagship wine of the Argiolas estate and is a benchmark for winemaking in Sardinia.

“Angialis” Isola dei Nuraghi IGT Angialis is a late-harvest sweet wine made from Nasco (a grape native to the island) with a small addition of Malvasia di Cagliari. The grapes are harvested between late October and early November before a brief appassimento at the winery. The wine is fermented in stainless-steel tanks and aged in French barriques.
