The 2010 Isola dei Nuraghi Serra Lori Rosato is far from an easygoing wine. Layers of fruit, hard candy, sweet herbs and spices are woven together in this intense rose. The Serra Lori is Cannonau, Carignano, Monica and Bovale Sardo. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014. A renewed focus in indigenous grapes and a more refined approach to winemaking are some of the developments that are in the air at Argiolas.

This pretty rose from the island of Sardinia opens with a pink color and copper highlights and offers fresh aromas of cranberry, raspberry and pink grapefruit. There’s a touch of tangy spice on the crisp close.——M.L.(7/1/2011)—— 86

This bright rose is obtained through a blend of Cannonau. Monica and Bovale grapes and offers vibrant raspberry tones and aromas of wild berries. The wine tastes broad and smooth in the mouth and offers a playful touch of sweetness too.——M.L.(9/1/2009)—— 85
