Sardinians argue that archeological evidence supports their claim that the island is the birthplace of Grenache, which they call Cannonau. However, there can be no argument that Argiolas’ Costera is an easy-to-recommend rustic–in a nice way–red wine. It delivers a wonderful combination of earthy, herbal and black fruit-flavors with pleasantly firm tannins for support. It’s a brawny, but not overdone wine, perfect for wintertime stews or roasted lamb.
