Turriga Argiolas 1997

750 ml Grenache Sardinia, Italy 1997

Turriga Argiolas 1997 is a dry, full-bodied red from Grenache (Sardinia, Italy), in the rich, smooth reds style. Tannins are firm and acidity gentle; oak influence is little. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 29-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with lamb, roast vegetables, steak, beef stew.
