Turriga
|
Red Blend
|
|
Turriga offers a unique combination of fruit and spice aromas, including plum jam, cherry, rosemary, lavender, tobacco, and hints of eucalyptus. On the palate, Turriga is powerful, supple and round with a massive structure beautifully framed by fine-grained and balanced tannins. The finish is long and spicy. Long-lived, silky and complex, Turriga is the wine that put Sardinia on the wine map. A wine for special occasions and rich fare.
This legendary red was created by the brothers Franco and Giuseppe Argiolas with the support of renowned enologist Giacomo Tachis. A muscular yet elegant blend of 85% Cannonau and 15% Malvasia Nera, Carignano and Bovale Sardo grown in the Turriga vineyard and macerated for 16-18 days in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks to fully extract tannins, flavors and color. After fermentation, Turriga is aged in barriques for 18-24 months, allowing for an austere, yet elegant and rich body.
