Winery
Antonio Argiolas founded the winery at the end of the thirties. For decades he made it grow, and continued to be present even when he passed the baton to his sons. Today his grandchildren work here, the third generation of the family. Argiolas winery's estates are located in the southern part of the island. The estates of Serdiana, in the countryside of Sibiola, are the closest to the winery. They host some of the most renowned traditional Sardinian vines. The Sisini estate extends for about 50 hectares among the hills in the historical region of Trexenta. Here the microclimate, the soil and the exposure are ideal for the cultivation of grapes for white wines such as Vermentino. Sa Tanca estate spreads for about 80 hectares between the communes of Selegas and Guamaggiore. Here are cultivated red berried grapes. Vigne Vecchie estate spreads for about 40 hectares (about 25 acres) in the hills near the city of Selegas. This territory is particularly suited for the production of fine wines. Is Solinas estate extends for about 15 hectares along the coast of Palmas gulf. The sandstones of these soils retain the humidity of the night which therefore naturally protects from drought and gives life to lush vineyards with incredibly rich fruits.
