The Argiolas ‘Costera’ is crafted by the Argiolas family, one of Sardinia’s most renowned wineries. This wine is made entirely from Cannonau, a varietal that thrives in Sardinia’s warm, Mediterranean climate and fertile soils. The vineyards are located in the hilly regions of Sardinia, which contribute to the grape’s ripeness and rich flavor profile.
The wine is aged in oak barrels, which imparts additional complexity and integrates the tannins, resulting in a balanced and harmonious profile. Argiolas wines have received widespread acclaim for their quality, with this particular bottling often praised for its depth and expression of place.
