AboutArgiolas
Argiolas began in 1938 with Antonio Argiolas and a three-hectare holding at Serdiana. His sons Franco and Giuseppe expanded the project, which is now carried forward by grandchildren Valentina, Francesca and Antonio.
Its vineyards span Parteolla, Trexenta and Sulcis, from limestone and clay hills to coastal Carignano sites. Local varieties remain the core, supported by an experimental vineyard at Sibiola dedicated to Sardinian grape diversity. Its range also includes grappa, along with myrtle, lemon and liquorice liqueurs.
