This barrique-aged, 100% Carignano cru is a real star and enormous value. It is lush, full of extract and body, with ripe, chewy fruit, supple texture, and noble tannins; it is also extremely cellar-worthy.

Serving temperature: Best served at 14 -16 °C (57.2 – 60.8 °F).
Food pairings: Red meat, wild boar, roasted pork and aged Sardinian Pecorino cheese.
Winemaker: Riccardo Curreli – Consultant: Giorgio Marone

Tasting Note

Almost impenetrable ruby red. Intense fruity notes of blackberry, blueberry, vanilla, myrtle, leather and licorice on the nose. Ample, velvety palate with excellent structure, and a lengthy aromatic finish; full-bodied.

About Santadi

Cantina Santadi is located in the province of Sud Sardegna, in the southwestern corner of Sardinia on gently rolling hills blanketed in vineyards that tumble down to the crystalline sea. This stunning wine-growing area features fabulous sandy soils, the blistering island sun, salty sea breezes, native grapes, and old vines, many bush-trained. President Antonello Pilloni, Winemaker Riccardo Curreli, and General Manager Massimo Podda, work together to produce wines deeply rooted in the Sulcis terroir, driven by a great desire to bring Sardinian wines to the world.
