-
Emanating from the verdant landscapes of Sardinia, the Argiolas Isola Nuraghi Korem 2018 is a remarkable Italian red wine offering an unparalleled oenological experience. This sublime blend of Bovale, Carignano, and Cannonau grapes, meticulously crafted by the renowned Argiolas family, undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks before maturing gracefully in French oak barrels.
Boasting an engagingly deep ruby hue, Korem delivers an intense and complex palette. Scents of wild berries and sour cherries infuse the air, underlain with a rich nuance of balsamic hints and sweet spices. On the palate, it enraptures with considerable harmony and elegance, a softness that belies the firm structure and well-balanced acidity. Trailing off, the Korem leaves a persistent, spicy hint that beckons a second taste.
Savour the Argiolas Isola Nuraghi Korem 2018 at leisure, perfectly matched with flavoursome dishes, or treasured in a discerning collector's cellar.

(1x75cl) 1998Vinous (97)
Deep ruby with a pale rim. Very intense, complex nose of sweet ripe red fruit, plums macerated in alcohol, cinnamon, nutmeg and milk chocolate. Then surprisingly bright and precise on the palate given the almost opulent nose, with a suave, velvety mouthfeel and rich, ripe red cherry, sweet spice and cocoa flavors that makes this very reminiscent of a late harvest wine. Tastes extremely young and fresh; I would never have guessed it was almost twenty years old. In 1998, there was a little more Carignano and Bovale in the blend and less of the Malvasia Nera. Still the latter grape variety’s presence is very obvious on the long smooth finish which features hints of camphor and an almost pungent floral quality.Inc. GSTSG$252.05
