About this wine
Perdera is Argiolas' Monica di Sardegna DOC, an everyday red built on approximately 90% Monica with small additions of Carignano and Bovale Sardo. Fermented at controlled temperature (around 27-28°C) for 8-10 days with moderate extraction, then developed mainly in concrete tanks with only brief exposure to small French oak casks, Perdera preserves the fresh, juicy character of the Monica grape. It shows a deep ruby color with aromas of plum, blackberry, and rose, leading to a soft, low-tannin palate with bright acidity — designed to be enjoyed relatively young as an approachable, food-friendly daily red.
A soft, juicy, low-tannin red that's an easy everyday introduction to Sardinian native grapes.

アルジョーラス トゥッリガ
Argiolas Turriga
RedCannonau · Carignano · Bovale Sardo · Malvasia Nera
Turriga is the undisputed flagship wine of the Argiolas estate and the benchmark red wine of all Sardinia. Conceived in 1988 by the Argiolas family together with the legendary oenologist Giacomo Tachis, the wine was first released in 1991 with the ambition of creating a great Sardinian wine capable of long aging using only native island varietals. The blend is led by 85% Cannonau (Grenache) sourced from old vines in the Turriga vineyard in the Selegas area, completed by 5% Carignano from coastal vineyards, 5% Bovale Sardo, and 5% Malvasia Nera. After fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with a long maceration, the wine ages for 18–24 months in new French oak barriques, followed by 12–14 months of bottle aging before release. The result is an intensely complex wine with profound dark fruit, Mediterranean garrigue, coffee, spice, and fine-grained tannins — a wine that defines Sardinian viticulture on the world stage. Turriga has received the Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri award over 20 times and regularly scores 91–97 points from Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and James Suckling.
コスタモリーノ
Costamolino
WhiteVermentino
Costamolino is Argiolas' benchmark Vermentino di Sardegna DOC and the estate's most widely recognized white wine, made from 100% Vermentino grown near the coast of southern Sardinia. Fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperatures with a brief aging on fine lees (a small portion undergoes malolactic fermentation for added roundness), the wine preserves the island's fresh, saline terroir character. The nose shows linden flower, ripe peach, citrus, and hints of pine and Mediterranean herbs, while the palate delivers stone fruit and lemon zest cut by bright, lasting acidity and a soft, textured finish. It is designed as a fresh, contemporary wine best enjoyed young.
コレム
Korem
RedBovale Sardo · Carignano · Cannonau
Korem is one of Argiolas' prestige reds, bottled under the Isola dei Nuraghi IGT and built around the aromatic Bovale Sardo grape (approx. 85%), completed with Carignano (approx. 10%) and Cannonau (approx. 5%). Conceived as a more elegant, fruit-forward counterpart to the estate's flagship Turriga, Korem is aged for around 12 months in barrique followed by further refinement in bottle before release. The result is an intense ruby-red wine with aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, dried figs, cinnamon, cocoa, and Mediterranean herbs, leading to a full, velvety palate of plum, blackcurrant, and licorice framed by silky tannins and a long, spiced finish.
コステーラ
Costera
RedCannonau · Bovale Sardo · Carignano
Costera is Argiolas' Cannonau di Sardegna DOC, built on approximately 90% Cannonau (the Sardinian expression of Grenache) with small additions of Bovale Sardo and Carignano. Aged for around 9 months in French oak barriques, the wine shows a deep ruby to garnet color with aromas of very ripe strawberries, black cherries, herbs, and spice, gaining rounded tannins and notes of vanilla from its barrel aging. Warm and full on the palate thanks to southern Sardinia's intense sunlight, Costera is a medium-to-full-bodied red with the fruit-forward, sun-soaked character typical of the island's benchmark Cannonau.
