Visitors have long been attracted to Sardinia’s wild beauty and natural energy, characterized in its sculpted red granite rocks and rugged cliffs, unspoiled beaches and fascinating stone relics. Located amid this breathtaking landscape, just north of Cagliari, is the Argiolas estate, widely known for its crisp and refreshing white wines and complex reds. The Argiolas family has worked diligently to become the leaders in Sardinian enology and insist on using only native Sardinian vines: Nuragus and Vermentino for white wines and Cannonau, Monica, Carignano and Bovale Sardo for reds. Giacomo Tachis, father of prestigious Italian wines such as Sassicaia, Tignanello and Solaia, has been instrumental in placing Argiolas on the quality map. Like the Argiolas family, Tachis has a true passion for the island’s native varieties. In 2004, the Wine Advocate praised Argiolas for producing, “essential wines for those looking to discover what the wines and viticulture of Sardinia are all about.”
