2008 BARRUA Agricola Punica
| Grapes: Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon Carignano | Origin: Italy, Sardinia |
Lea & Sandeman review
Blend of 85% Carignano, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot, vinified separately and aged in new French oak 'barriqes' for eighteen months. Full bodied with aromas of spice, fine leather and ripe red fruits, followed by flavours of sweet fruits, licquorice and plums. Finishes with length, freshness and elegance.Other reviews and comments
Nov 18, 2011- Tre Bicchieri - Winemaker Notes - Agricola Punica is a ground-breaking endeavor from Super-Stars of Italian winemaking. Dr. Sebastiano Rosa, architect of Sassicaia at Tenuta San Guido and the President of Catina Santadi Antonello Pilloni. Giacomo Tachis – who helped create the original Super Tuscan, Sassicaia, as well as Tignanello and Solaia, is the technical director. Sardinia is a region steeped in winemaking traditions that is quickly falling into step with the rest of Italy. Dr. Rosa recounts: ‘It was Giacomo Tachis who turned us on to Sardinia and the sweet, soft tannins of Carignano. He convinced us that we could make a great Carignano-based wine… There are few people making wine here, and the potential is tremendous, a similar situation to Bolgheri, but a longer tradition of viticulture. We are at the beginning of something great.’
