  • Isola dei Nuraghi
  • 93 Points - James Suckling
  • 91 Points - Wine Spectator

Leafy nuances & notes of sassafras dominate the deep but youthfully reticent dark red fruit on the nose. Smooth & dense, with forward flavors of red cherry, dark plum, cassis, & aromatic herbs. Finishes very long & spicy, with peppery tannins.

TASTING NOTES
At the moment the Punica Farm produces two great red wines, Barrua and Montessu, and a delicious white wine called Samas. All of them fall under the appellation I.G.T. Isola Dei Nuraghi, originating from tipical Sardinian grapes exceptionally blended with some French varietals.

“Barrua” is the name of the vineyard parcel within the Sulcis Iglesente region in southwest Sardinia. Grapes are sourced from the Barrua and Narcao vineyards. The Sulcis region is dominated by Carignano, the blend’s predominant grape of Spanish origin that is known for elegant and velvety tannins. Carignano has perfect terroir in the warm, well-exposed brown earth, composed of calcareous, clay and sandy soil. International varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot also thrive in the area’s optimal conditions. Bush vines are closely planted to minimize yields and maximize the wine’s concentration.

Blend: 85% Carignano, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, & 5% Merlot.

Alcohol: 15%
93 POINTS - "Lovely precision to this red with berries, nutmeg and hints of stones. Subtle dried meat, too. Medium body, pretty texture and a refined finish. Always excellent." - James Suckling

91 POINTS - "Sleek and mouthwatering, this harmonious red features creamy tannins and layers of flavor, with black currant pâte de fruit, dried marjoram and smoky mineral notes accented by abundant ground white pepper, star anise and graphite details that play out on the finish. Carignano, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2025." - Wine Spectator
With a deep violet color, the wine displays clean; on the nose elegant aromas of spices, wild herbs and mature red fruits. On the palate, the wine is soft and elegant, a unique blend of sage, myrtle, rosemary, vanilla flavors and fine tannins. Notes of red fruits, pepper and liquorice add an interesting spiciness before a harmonious and persistent finish.
