The sweet 2003 Angialis, made from late-harvested Nasco and Malvasia, rounds out this very strong set of wines. If you could bottle island sunshine, it would taste like this gorgeous, beautifully-delineated dessert wine, which bursts from the glass with the essence of orange peel, sage, rosemary, honey, tea leaves and jasmine. Despite its rich, full-bodied personality it comes across as light on its feet and is superbly balanced. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2013.
Argiolas is one of my favorite producers in Italy. The estate, located in Sardinia, makes a number of compelling wines that highlight just how intriguing the island’s unique terroirs and indigenous varieties can be. Of course, it never hurts to have the consulting services of one of the world’s most renowned oenologists, in this case Sardinia native, Giacomo Tachis. To make things even better, most of the wines remain reasonably priced as well. Readers may also want to re-visit my article on Best Buys from Italy available at www.erobertparker.com for more top values from Argiolas. In short, consumers who want to learn more about the unique wines of Sardegna owe it to themselves to check out Argiolas.
