The Turriga from Argiolas winery is an iconic wine of Sardinia, recognized under the Isola dei Nuraghi IGT denomination. This wine represents a true expression of the island's wine identity, encapsulating its history and terroir in every sip.

Produced primarily from native grapes such as Cannonau, Carignano, Bovale Sardo, and Malvasia Nera, Turriga is distinguished by its complexity and intensity. The vines from which these grapes are harvested are grown on clayey and calcareous soils, which, together with the warm and windy climate typical of the area, contribute to creating a wine with deep character.

The winemaking process follows traditional techniques but is accompanied by innovations that enhance the quality of the grapes. After fermentation, the wine matures for about 18-24 months in French oak barriques, followed by further refinement in the bottle. This process endows Turriga with a remarkable structure and an impressive aging potential.

Upon tasting, Turriga presents a deep and vivid red color. The nose reveals intense aromas of ripe red fruits, spices, balsamic, and hints of tobacco and chocolate. The palate is enveloping, with robust yet harmonious tannins and a long, persistent finish that leaves a trace of fruit and spices.

This wine is ideal paired with rich and structured dishes, such as roasted red meats, game, and aged cheeses. It is also perfect for special occasions or as a meditative tasting experience. Turriga is not just a wine, but a true sensory experience that encapsulates the soul of Sardinia.
