Argiolas

The historyof Argiolas began in 1918, when Francesco Argiolas started from scratch and planted the first vineyard.

But it was only with Antonio Argiolas, today 97 years old, that a new way of running the business began. A man of great enthusiasm and long experience in viticulture, he bought new estates, not only vineyards but also olive groves, with the aim to set up a new, modern farm. He succeeded.

At the end of the 70's, when the EEC used to pay farmer for reducing the size of their vineyards or even for removing their vines, Franco and Giuseppe Argiolas, the two sons of Antonio, made a courageous choice: by means of big investments, they effected gradual changes and involved the business in a stage of reorganization of all aspects, from the vineyards to technological innovation in the cellars.
For their staff, they chose one of Italy's leading oenologists, Giacomo Tachis,  who joined its forces with oenologist Mariano Murru.

Now three generations of our family are present together: the patriarch Antonio, his two sons and his grandchildren.
