This Korem perfectly reflects the idea that every good enthusiast has of Sardinian reds. Wines of great intensity and concentration, perfect to accompany richly flavoured dishes. Isola dei Nuraghi IGT, this Korem is offered by Argiolas, a company that certainly needs no introduction. They produce it from grapes harvested on the Sa Tanca estate. Bunches of Bovale sardo, Carignano and Cannonau. Bovale, in particular, is a grape variety native to the Iberian peninsula, which arrived in Sardinia around 1300. The resulting wine is characterised by its richness in extract, alcohol and polyphenolic complexity. Sometimes still grown using the traditional Sardinian sapling system, it also lends itself well to slight over-ripening on the vine, to increase the concentration of aromas and sugar in the grapes. After the harvest, Argiolas carefully vinifies the three varieties, starting with a long maceration phase that can last up to two weeks. After fermentation, the wine is placed in vitrified cement vats where malolactic fermentation takes place. Finally, the wine is put into barriques, where it matures for about a year, before bottling and a further 6 months of ageing in glass. The result is a wine characterised by an intense red colour. The nose reveals intense and persistent aromas. In the mouth, however, it is above all velvety, warm and round. Well-balanced and harmonious, on the table it easily (and satisfactorily) accompanies savoury meat dishes. First courses with meat sauce, suckling pig on the spit and more generally grilled red meat. But also roast lamb, and mature Sardinian pecorino cheese.
