Wine description
Produced in the heart of Sardinia, from vineyards with extraordinary exposure, the Argiolas' Turriga keeps showing its high quality year after year, confirming itself as the wine symbol of Sardinia. Turriga is made exclusively from native grapes of Cannonau, Carignano, Bovale and Malvasia Nera. Behind the stunning mix of power, elegance and harmony there are the tradition of the Argiolas winery and mastery of Giacomo Tachis, one of the fathers of Italian oenology and the father of Sassicaia. Definitely an exceptional wine.
