Argiolas Costamolino
Wine Description
Made from 95% Vermentino and 5% other Sardinian varietals, the grapes for this wine were harvested between August and September before being vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve their fresh, aromatic qualities. Malolactic fermentation was partially carried out, allowing for greater richness without sacrificing the typical effusiveness of the Vermentino grape.
