Is Argiolas

Vermentino & Vermentino-based Blends

Made from 100% Vermentino grapes manually harvested in the early hours of the morning. After a soft pressing, the must is fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and juiciness.

Tasting Notes

Light straw yellow in color with greenish tints, Is Argiolas offers a complex bouquet of tropical fruits and honey. Lively, mineral and fresh on the palate with a well-pronounced, delicate yet intense structure and a zesty acidity.

Food Pairing

Excellent with clams, oysters, shellfish and white meats.
