Serdiana, Cagliari
The Argiolas story started in the early 1900s in Serdiana, home of farmers, olive groves and vineyards. It was here that in 1906, Antonio, the patriarch, was born. He was the first to plant vine rows, to join vineyards together, and to seek quality in winemaking. His two sons, Franco and Giuseppe inherited his passion for wine, and shared it with their wives, and then with their own children. Today, the winery is run by the third Argiolas generation: Antonio’s grandchildren.
