It was1988 when, after a long period of research, the first harvest delivered to the Winery the grapes to macerate and ferment, a balanced blend of Sardinian vines rooted for centuries in the limestone soils of the hills and the sands of the coast, kissed by the sun and caressed by the wind, swollen by the sea. 
After the first harvest, Turriga waited until 1991 to reveal itself to connoisseurs. Aged in French oak barriques for 18-24 months and refined in bottles for 12-14 months, it won acclaim and recognition. ‘It cleared Sardinian red wine through customs in the eyes of the planet,’ journalist Benedetto Ferrara wrote several years ago in Repubblica.

A critical success confirmed year after year: the product preserves and restores, in fact, in the surprising, harmonious and enveloping richness of odours, aromas and scents, the complex character of its origins, a decisive reminder of the power of genesis and the memories of millenary civilisations.
The wine owes its name to a marble statuette of the Mother Goddess, dating back more than five thousand years, which was found in the Turriga locality, in the countryside between Senorbì and Selegas, where some of the Argiolas estates extend. The female idol, now kept at the Cagliari Archaeological Museum and depicted in red tones on the bottle label, is a concentration of the generating force of nature, a symbol of the fertile womb of the earth, which gives life, vines and wine.
