2018 Cantine Argiolas Is Solinas Riserva Sardinia, Italy

Carginano Del Sulcis was introduced as a DOC in  1977 and the wine can only be a red or rose made from the Carignano (Carignan) grape. Sulcis is a coastal zone that includes the island of Sant'Antioco as well as the areas around Sant'Antioco. This region is in the south of Sardinia, close to the sea, which provides cooling breezes for Sardinia's southernmost vines.

The sandy soils of the Is Solinas sub-area in the Sulcis vineyard are only 50 meters from the sea. Additionally, the vineyard is phylloxera-free.

Argiolas uses no irrigation for this vineyard. The water content is comprised of sea salt and humidity.

The wine is ruby red with a violet hue. On the nose, the wine has an intense, persistent perfume with notes of ripe fruit and jam. On the palate, the wine is harmonious, full, and warm, with fruity notes.
