S’elegas Nuragus di Cagliari DOC
This wine is made from the Nuragus grape, a native variety grown in the hillside area of Trexenta, at
almost 660 feet above sea level. Nuragus is also the name of the ancient mortarless stone huts that can
be found throughout Sardinia, and, as such, an image of a single nuragus graces the label. Following
a gentle pressing of the grapes, the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh
Mediterranean character.
Serralori Rosato Isola dei Nuraghi IGT
A blend of native varietals Cannonau, Monica, Carignano and Bovale Sardo from the Guamaggiore and
S’elegas vineyards planted at 750 feet elevation. The grapes are hand-harvested in the early morning
hours to retain freshness and vinified in stainless steel tanks. A brief skin contact of less than 24 hours
imparts the fresh fruit and lively aromas that make this wine a true standout.
Turriga Isola dei Nuraghi IGT
Over many generations, the Argiolas family has worked diligently to become the leader in Sardinian
enology. In many ways, Turriga embodies the fulfillment of this goal. Made from 85% Cannonau, with 5%
each of Carignano, Bovale Sardo and Malvasia Nera, all meticulously hand-harvested from the Turriga
estate in the countryside of Selegas-Piscina Trigus. This wine is the flagship red of the Argiolas estate.
