Svinando.co.ukWhen you think of Sardinia, as well as the sea and 'porceddu', you inevitably end up remembering one of the region's many good wines. White or red, Sardinian wines are often the result of the vinification of grapes typical of the region. Varieties that express themselves best in the heart of the Mediterranean, thanks to a happy mix of environmental conditions. Among the typical vines, there is one that most people might not immediately remember. It is Nuragus, which, strangely enough, is still the most widely cultivated vine in Sardinia today, even if recent years have seen a gradual trend towards a reduction in the area under cultivation. Today, Nuragus is mainly found in the provinces of Cagliari and Oristano. A rustic vine that adapts easily to any terrain, it is a very generous grape. Argiolas harvests it in its Vigne Vecchie estate and proposes it in this DOC Nuragus di Cagliari version. Straw yellow in colour, the nose reveals a pleasantly fruity, fragrant and harmonious character. In the mouth it is full, soft and rich. The peculiar characteristic of this vine, however, is the pleasantly bitterish finish, a characteristic that is also found in this S'Elegas by Argiolas. Sea and land hors d'oeuvres, but also first courses of seafood cuisine or second courses of fish are its natural matches. Try it, in particular, with a nice roast sea bass with potatoes.
