Argiolas Serra Lori
Wine Description
A blend of native varietals Cannonau, Monica, Carignano and Bovale Sardo from the Guamaggiore and S'elegas vineyards planted at 750 feet elevation. The grapes are hand-harvested in the early morning hours to retain freshness and vinified in stainless steel tanks. A brief skin contact of less than 24 hours imparts the fresh fruit and lively aromas that make this wine a true standout.
