Is Solinas Isola dei Nuraghi IGT Is Solinas is the perfect expression of this island’s unspoiled landscape and exotic beauty, made from 95% Carignano and 5% Bovale Sardo grapes that come from some rare pre-phylloxera vineyards. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and then refined in a combination of 50 %new and 50% second-passage barriques and cement vats for one year.

Iselis Bianco Isola dei Nuraghi IGT Made from 85% Nasco and 15% Vermentino, the hand-harvested grapes are fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and barrels before being aged in stainless steel tanks for 5 to 6 months. Nasco is typically associated with sweeter-style dessert wines due to its perfumed and floral character, and these attributes are still present in this dry, white wine.

Iselis Rosso Isola dei Nuraghi IGT Iselis Rosso is made from a blend of Monica, Carignano, and Bovale Sardo. The grapes are hand harvested to maintain their integrity and fermented in stainless steel tanks to maintain the grapes’ fruit-forward effusiveness. The final wine is a sophisticated and authentic expression of the Sardinian terroir.

Korem Isola dei Nuraghi IGT Located amidst Sardinia’s natural beauty, just north of Cagliari, is the Argiolas estate, widely known for its crisp, refreshing white wines and its unforgettably complex reds. The Korem is a voluptuous, exotic red wine made from Bovale Sardo, Carignano, and Cannonau grapes grown in the Sa Tanca vineyard. The wine is aged in barriques and cement vats for one year with further development in the bottle for six months.

Perdera Monica di Sardegna DOC A blend of 90% Monica, 5% Carignano, and 5% Bovale Sardo grown in the Perdera vineyard, the grapes are harvested in September and fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the grapes’ fresh, fruit- forward aromas. Following this, the wine is refined in French oak to create a smoother texture and add subtle complexity.
