“Red conceived from local grapes varieties, Turriga narrates the island’s memory with a contemporary and international language”
It expresses, in its character’s fullness, the strong philosophy of the Argiolas household, that codified by the patriarch, dates back to 1980s. In this moment, Antonio, born in 1906 and died over 100 years old, never tired of measuring innovation, shared with his sons, Franco and Giuseppe, the idea of bottling the product of the grapes ripened in the vineyards not far from Serdiana, the village of the Winery, the scene of sacrifices and passions and the fulcrum of the family’s entrepreneurial history.
The vision of Argiolas household, originated from land’s love and at the same time a broad perspective on the world, materialised with the inclusion of the famous wine maker Giacomo Tachis and his pupil Mariano Murru, who is the technical director of the Winery nowadays. The main aim was to narrate Sardinia with an innovative character. And to allow for the first time to local varieties through skilful blending outside the usual techniques, to blend to give birth – in a harmony that did not exist before – to a long-lived, balanced and powerful wine.
After the first harvest, Turriga waited until 1991 to reveal itself to connoisseurs. Aged in French oak barriques for 18-24 months and refined in bottles for 12-14 months, it won acclaim and recognition. ‘It cleared Sardinian red wine through customs in the eyes of the planet,’ journalist Benedetto Ferrara wrote several years ago in Repubblica. ‘Thus the perfection of Cannonau found a new melody, resistant to time’.
