Antonio Argiolas introduces the finest wines from the region of Sardinia, Italy

Aspri Spirits Pvt Ltd has recently brought to India Argiolas, one of Italy’s finest wines! Located amid Sardinia’s natural beauty, just north of Cagliari, is the Argiolas estate, widely known for its crisp and refreshing white wines and complex reds. Antonio Argiolas and his twin sons, Franco and Giuseppe, have worked diligently to fulfill their commitment to become the leaders in Sardinian enology.

Giacomo Tachis, father of prestigious Italian wines such as Sassicaia, Tignanello and Solaia, has been instrumental in placing Argiolas on the quality map. Like the Argiolas family, Tachis has a true passion for the island’s native varietals.

Their first vintage was bottled in 1989. The process in making this long-established wine involves it being aged for three months followed by an additional three months in the bottle.

Antonio Argiolas, 3rd generation from the Argiolas family said, “Wine drinkers in India have grown more discerning and the Indian wine consumption market has undergone tremendous growth in the last five years. Over the years the Argiolas family has strongly insisted on its native Sardinian vines, focusing on the indigenous white varietals Nuragus and Vermentino and the red varietals Cannonau, Monica, Carignano and Bovale Sardo. A fine wine selection offering the perfect accompaniment to your meal.”

Sumedh Singh, CEO Aspri Spirits Pvt Ltd. said, “We always take pride in getting new varietals and top wine regions to India. Argiolas family is among the first wine family from Sardinia. Argiolas wines highlight just how intriguing the island’s unique terroir and indigenous varietals can be. I am quite sure that wine lovers in India will appreciate the taste and quality of Argiolas wines especially the Vermentino and Cannonau varietals.”

Speaking on the tie-up, Mr. Jackie Matai, Director Aspri Spirits Pvt Ltd. said, “We at Aspri Spirits aspire and work towards enlarging our portfolio each time with the best of wine brands in the world. We are happy to launch Argiolas in India, with our research and vision we are confident to make it a success among our wine enthusiasts and the beginners.” He further added “We at Aspri Spirits always explore the opportunities to strengthen the company further in terms of our management, quality, staff and penetration reach.” With a clear see through straw yellow colour and light green tinges when poured in a wine glass, Argiolas Costamolino is a subtle yet intense and a delicately flavoured white wine with an enjoyable primary and secondary aroma. This fine feel wine accompanies best with seafood starters’ fregola (small balls of semolina) with crustaceans, fish stews, bass with artichokes, soft-textured medium mature cheeses.
