Founded in 1938 by Antonio Argiolas, the estate uses native and Sardinian vines that are grown on over 600 acres.
For more information, visit https://www.visitargiolas.it/en/.
Their reach expanded internationally with the first Turriga in 1988, a powerful and complex red wine, that solidified Argiolas as a worldwide leader in winemaking.
Due to a lack of time, we unfortunately did not get a chance to see the vineyards, but we did get to see the barrel rooms and where the fermentation takes place.
I wish we had more time to spend at the winery, because it was just fascinating to learn about the terroir and how different elements help to create the subtle nuances of various wines.
You can visit their wine shop, go on tours and tastings (there is even a kiddie corner to occupy the little ones - what a brilliant idea!), and they offer other types of events as well.
They are currently celebrating the 30th vintage of Turriga.
A special exhibit, #DialogoAdagio, runs through September 30, showcasing art made with natural elements from the vineyards.
I really do hope I get to visit again one day to learn more about Argiolas and the spectacular wines produced there.
