The 2002 Argiolas adds Malvasia to Vermentino to give a fresh, crisp white wine with an abundance of lemon fruit and aromatic herbs in its nose and palate. The largest private estate making quality wine in Sardinia, Argiolas received its original impetus from the counsels of Giacomo Tachis, at the time the chief oenologist of Antinori and creator of both Tignanello and Sassicaia. The line is now larger and more complete but quality, if anything, has further improved, and these are essential wines for those looking to discover what the wines and viticulture of Sardinia are all about.
