Vermentino di Sardegna, Costamolino, Argiolas

When Antonio Argiolas decided to bet on wines of his land, he owned only three-hectares farm at Serdania, a village at 20 kilometers from Cagliari. A father’s bequest, this farm was the place where he planted his first vineyard. The legacy of that ambition, guarded by his sons Franco and Giuseppe, is today enhanced by his grandchildren Valentina, Francesca and Antonio.

From grapes harvested in the Vigne Vecchie Estate, Sardinia.  The Vermentino di Sardegna grapes are harvested in August and September and fermented in stainless steel tanks at 16-18°C for about 20 days. The wine is stored at controlled temperature with a brief aging on its fine lees.

The Costamolino has a lemon-green colour with delicate aromas of citrus and greengage which complement undertones of herbs and evergreen shrubs. On the palate ripe stonefruit and ripe lemon curd with a twist of delicate pine. A delightfully zesty acidity makes it both food-friendly and crowd-pleasing.
