Acclaim
The single vineyard 2009 Is Argiolas (Vermentino) is a richer, deeper wine than the Costamolino although those differences aren't as marked as they are most years. Juicy, ripe peaches, apricots and flower are woven together beautifully in the textured expressive Is Argiolas. A long, harmonious finish adds the final elements of polish.
