“COSTAMOLINO” VERMENTINODI SARDEGNA DOC Costamolino, named for the area, is made from Vermentino, an aromatic white grape variety that thrives in the Mediterranean climate of Sardegna. The grapes are harvested in August and September and vinified in stainless-steel tanks to retain acidity. A small percentage sees malolactic fermentation to give the wine roundness and texture.

“IS ARGIOLAS” VERMENTINODI SARDEGNA DOC Is Argiolas is a selection of 100% Vermentino from the oldest vineyards of the Argiolas estate. The grapes are harvested later than the Costamolino Vermentino to obtain fuller body and riper fruit flavors and aged 6 – 8 months on the lees. The wine is vinified entirely in stainless steel tanks to retain freshness and vibrancy.

VINTAGE: ______

“COSTERA” CANNONAU DI SARDEGNA DOC Costera, a name referring to hills, is made from Cannonau (Garnacha or Grenache). It is the workhorse red grape of Sardegna where it is likely to have arrived centuries ago from Spain, although an alternative theory suggests that Cannonau originated in Sardegna. In either case, Cannonau is well-adapted to the warm Sardinian climate and gives a deeply- colored, full-bodied red wine.
