Argiolas S'Elegas Nuragus di Cagliari DOC

The Argiolas S´Elegas Nuragus di Cagliari DOC tastes dry, fresh, and fruit-forward. In the glass, it shows aromas of white peach, honeydew melon, and ripe pear. The fruit appears clear and direct. It does not get lost in many layers.

The acidity remains present and keeps the wine lively. With 14% vol, the S´Elegas has a noticeable body without appearing heavy. The finish is clean and rather short. This fits its profile as an uncomplicated white wine with a Mediterranean pull.

It is vinified from Nuragus, one of the oldest grape varieties in Sardinia. Nuragus is closely linked to the south of the island. The grape variety preserves its freshness even in the warm island climate. Argiolas bottles the S´Elegas in the DOC Nuragus di Cagliari and seals it with a natural cork.

The Argiolas S´Elegas Nuragus di Cagliari DOC pairs with fish, seafood, pasta, soups, and antipasti. It works particularly well with grilled fish. Pasta with seafood is also a safe choice. For a simple insalata di mare, its acidity brings the necessary freshness.

As an aperitif, the S´Elegas cuts a fine figure on warm evenings. Place it on the table with a platter of antipasti, for example with grilled vegetables and olives. It also goes well with light vegetable soups or a clear fish soup. In spring, you can try it with asparagus. In summer, it accompanies barbecue evenings with fish and prawns.

Serve the Argiolas S´Elegas well-chilled at 8–10 °C. This brings out the peach and melon aromas clearly. The acidity appears particularly fresh at this temperature. It is best to take the bottle out of the refrigerator shortly before pouring.
