This wine is made principally from Monica grapes.  David described it as very rustic and earthy, a medium-bodied wine with blackberry, mint and eucalyptis flavors.  Perdera is the name of the vineyard that produces the fruit, and Argiolas is the family name of Giuseppe, the wine maker.

  This bottle will set you back a modest $13-$15.  If you have the opportunity to purchase more than one bottle, David strongly recommends picking up as much as possible at that price.  You can find it at one of the many retailers listed here on Wine-Searcher.com.
