Argiolas Costamolino Vermentino 2024

Profile & Story

Argiolas is Sardinia's foremost wine estate, founded in the early 20th century by Antonio Argiolas from a modest three-hectare farm in Serdiana, in the Trexenta hills near Cagliari, and now run by his grandchildren with a strong identity in balance with the land and its traditions. Costamolino, named for the coastal sands near the vineyards, is their signature Vermentino di Sardegna DOC: grapes are harvested in August and September, given a painstaking selection and very light pressing using only first-press wine, cooled to 10-12C for natural settling, then fermented at 16-18C for about 20 days with a brief aging on the fine lees before bottling.

Pairing Recommendation

Recommended with seafood starters, fregola (semolina pasta) with crustaceans, fish stews, bass with artichokes, and soft-textured, medium-mature cheeses.
