The estate's 2009 Isola dei Nuraghi Costera flows from the glass with layers of exquisitely perfumed fruit buttressed by fine, silky tannins. There is an element of pure elegance and refinement that is hard to do justice to with words. This is another terrific red from Argiolas.

“In the glass, the wine is a brilliant purple color with a violet reflections at the rim. The taster is immediately struck by the aromas of pepper, crushed black fruits, and a hint of spice. On the palate, the wine presents a medium bodied profile with flavors of anise, crushed black berries, black olive and mineral note. This is very nice and very well balanced despite the warm growing season. Brisk acidity, and with more tannic structure than I suspected, this paired well with a variety of foods from cheese, olives, escarole and beans, bread and sauteed hot peppers. Really nice and an excellent value. What I especially like about Costera, is that this is a nice ‘change of pace’ from central Italian reds. This is distinctly different and well worth seeking out.”
