Argiolas Costamolino
Wine Description
Made from 90% Vermentino and 10% of other Sardinian grapes grown at an elevation of 625 feet. The grapes were harvested in September and vinified in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation was partially carried out, allowing for greater elegance without sacrificing the typical freshness of Vermentino.
