Traditional Sardinian Products - Argiolas vini - FoodExplore

Similar to many of the Italian regions, Sardinian cuisine has been influenced and enriched by different cultures. Traditional Sardinian products are still the main ingredients for traditional Sardinian dishes, which go from roasted meat and bread to seafood and meat dishes. Fishing is still the main trade on the island providing many traditional Sardinian products such as Fregula with clams, Astice alla catalana (European lobster with tomatoes and red onions) created under the Catalan rule, Spaghetti alla bottarga and many more. Country dishes made with poor ingredients like Pane Carasau, Malloreddus (Sardinian gnocchi made with durum wheat and saffron), Porcheddu or suckling pig on the spit. Sardinian wines go perfectly with all the traditional Sardinian dishes. The mostcommonly grown grapes are the Boval, Vernaccia sarda, Cagnulari from Sassari, and the Cannonau, symbol of the region. Sardinia, is the second biggest island of Italy after Sicily.


Argiolas is a synonym for 'wine' in Sardinia; the history of the company has very old roots, its founder Antonio Argiolas, born in 1906, decided to plant vines and make wine and year after year purchased one hectare more, reaching the considerable size that boasts today. In the past most of the wine produced by the compmay was sold in tanks in France and in several parts of Italy. Antoni's sons decided to invest in a new change of philosophy of the product and they tried to revolutionize the concept of the company. They began with a new concept of viticulture: vine density has been increased in order to improve the quality of the grapes, reducing the production for each plant and the wines labelled Argiolas released on the market. That is how Argiolas started being very successful on the international market and today Argiolas is well-known all over the world as synonym of 'Sardinian wine' and pioneer of the vinification of local grapes such as Cannonau and Vermentino. Argiolas owns 235 hectares of vineyards and produces around 2,000,000 bottles.
