Turriga IGT Isola dei Nuraghi Red

Sardinia's most famous wine, a classic for every connoisseur

If you are a fan of complex and refined red wines and are looking for an elegant and persistent wine, Turriga IGT Isola dei Nuraghi Red is the label for you.
Created in 1988 by the celebrated oenologist Giacomo Tachis, this wine marks a true milestone in the history of Sardinian oenology.

Turriga is the result of a skillful blend of indigenous Sardinian grape varieties, such as Cannonau, Carignano, Bovale and a small addition of Malvasia Nera, which come together to create a wine of great structure, finesse and longevity. The grapes come from the Turriga and Piscina Trigus estates, on limestone hills 230 meters above sea level in the municipality of Selegas, where the soil rich in pebbles and disintegrated rock gives the wine a unique freshness and minerality.
