Argiolas

Costamolino

Made from 90% Vermentino and 10% of other Sardinian grapes grown in the Costamolino vineyard, at an elevation of 625 feet. The grapes were harvested in September and vinified in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation was partially carried out, allowing for greater elegance without sacrificing the typical freshness of Vermentino.

Tasting Notes

Costamolino is straw yellow in color with green highlights and an intense yet delicate bouquet that displays distinct characteristics fo the variety. Supple aromas of citrus, pineapple, tropical fruits and honey are wonderfully supported by a zesty acidit

Food Pairing

Delicate and pleasantly refreshing on the palate, Costamolino is the wine of choice for many dishes, from fish antipasti and pastas to vegetables terrine, salads, white meat casseroles, and risotto. Delicious with Asian food and sushi.
