2025 Argiolas - Vermentino di Sardegna DOC Costamolino (750ml)

Producer

Founded in 1938, Argiolas has grown into the leading wine estate on the island of Sardinia, now guided by the third generation of the founding family. The winery has built its reputation on native varietals, favoring quality and a clear sense of place over sheer volume. Costamolino, whose name references the coastal sands near the vineyards, stands as one of the estate's most recognized and widely enjoyed wines, a benchmark expression of Sardinian Vermentino.

Growing and Production

The grapes are harvested from the Vigne Vecchie Estate, a roughly 40 hectare property in the hills near the town of Selegas, where elevation and soil conditions allow Vermentino to reach ideal ripeness. After gentle pressing, the must ferments at controlled temperatures in stainless steel to protect the grape's natural aromatics and freshness, with a small portion undergoing malolactic fermentation to add roundness and texture. This careful, low intervention approach preserves the wine's bright, lively character from vineyard to bottle.

Tasting Notes

The wine shows a bright straw yellow color with greenish highlights, opening with the herbal, resinous scent of pine and mint typical of the Sardinian macchia, layered with ripe stone fruit and citrus. The palate is vibrant and textural, finishing with lingering, refreshing acidity. It pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, briny shellfish, or pasta with bottarga.
