Wine owes its strength to its visceral connection with the womb of the earth

It was 1988 when, after a long period of research, the first harvest delivered the grapes to the winery for maceration and fermentation, a balanced blend of Sardinian vines rooted for centuries in the calcareous soils of the hills and the sands of the coast, kissed by the sun and caressed by the wind, swollen by the sea.
After its first harvest, Turriga waited until 1991 to reveal itself to connoisseurs. Aged in French oak barriques for 18-24 months and refined in bottle for 12-14 months, it won acclaim and recognition. "It reaffirmed Sardinian red wine's reputation worldwide," journalist Benedetto Ferrara wrote in La Repubblica several years ago.

A critical success confirmed year after year: the product preserves and restores, in the surprising, harmonious and enveloping richness of aromas, flavours and perfumes, the complex character of its origins, a decisive reference to the power of genesis and the memories of ancient civilizations.
The wine takes its name from a marble statuette of the Mother Goddess, dating back over five thousand years, found in Turriga, in the countryside between Senorbì and Selegas, where some of the Argiolas estates are located. The female idol, now housed in the Archaeological Museum of Cagliari and depicted in shades of red on the bottle label, embodies the generative power of nature, a symbol of the fertile womb of the earth, which gives life, vines, and wine.
