Argiolas Korem
Wine Description
Made from a blend of 55% Bovale Sardo, 35% Carignano and 10% Cannonau harvested from mid-September to mid-October. To ensure fine-grained but juicy tannins and solid structure, the must remains in contact with the skins for 10-12 days until fermentation is completely carried over. Korem is aged in Allier barriques for 12 months prior to bottling for extra finesse.
