Isola dei Nuraghi IGT Barrua Agricola Punica 2008

Agricola Punica is a joint-venture between the mythical domain Tenuta San Guido (producer of the famous Sassicaia), the Sardinian wine merchant Cantina di Santadi and the famous Tuscan enologist Giacomo Tachis. In 2002, the first vines were bought, 170 hectares divided into two domains: Barrua and Narcao, located in southern Sardinia, in the Isola dei Nuraghi IGP. The grape varieties include Carignan, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah for the red wines, whereas for the whites (5 hectares), the vineyard is planted with Vermentino and Chardonnay.

Cuvée Barrua is aged for 18 months in barrels (50% new). On the palate, it delivers very ripe almost jammy red berry aromas and spicy notes of olive and tobacco. It is elegant, dense and silky on the palate.
