Description
This, the 'baby' brother of the Barrua, from younger vines but still an absolute cracker of a wine with really attractive soft, warm dark plummy fruit soft tannins and lovely length. Agricola Punica was founded by Sebastiano Rosa, the winemaker at Sassicaia and the late Tuscan wine consultant Giacomo Tachis in the south eastern corner of the island of Sardinia, a DOC called Carignano del Sulcis. Made from old vine Carignan, with Cabernet and Merlot , the addition of other grapes to the indigenous Carignan means it can only have the generic IGT Isola dei Nuraghi.
Really attractive soft, warm dark plummy fruit soft tannins and lovely length. Tremendous value too.
