Tasting Notes

This exceptional Carignano del Sulcis DOC showcases the authentic character of Sardinia. At 14.5% alcohol, it delivers real concentration and power on the palate. Crafted from Carignano 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. Expect layered dark fruit aromas, firm tannins and a long, satisfying finish. The fruit is sourced from vineyards vines grown ungrafted rootstock, on the coast in the lower Sulcis, on clayey and sandy soils, poor in organic matter. The wine is aged 10 months in barrique. A wine reflecting the island's ancient indigenous grape heritage.
