Argiolas Turriga 2019 Review

On the label of this powerful and age-worthy Sardinian blend is the image of a 5,000-year-old statue of the Mother Goddess found buried among the estate's vines and is now safe in the Archaeological Museum of Cagliari. The Argiolas family sees this as a testament to their ties to the land. The Turriga bottling is a blend of native varieties, with with 85 percent Cannonau, and 5 percent each of Carignano, Bovale Sardo, and Malvasia Nera. The nose draws you in with deep earthy fruit and a savory layer, reminiscent of Mediterranean herbs. The palate is commanding and balanced with great depth held up by high acidity that brings the mouthfeel into harmony. The tannins that frame this wine show that it's ready for years in bottle but it can still be enjoyed now.
