SARDINIA
150 miles off the West Coast of Italy, Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean, after Sicily. Its culture, language, architecture, place names and of course grape varieties are all very different to those found on the mainland thanks to centuries of rule from different empires. In fact, Italian grape varieties are almost nowhere to be found.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOU
2014 Montessu, Agricola Punica

2016 Samas, Agricola Punica
Bottle 75cl £10.75
2010 Barrua, Agricola Punica
Magnum 150cl £60.00
TASTING NOTES
A blend of 60% Carignano with the balance made up of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot.

Bottle 75cl £16.14
TASTING NOTES
Incredibly fresh and zesty this is going to make perfect summer drinking. Refreshing acidity with concentrated pear, apple and apricot flavours. Whilst primarily about crisp fruit characters there is a touch of minerality and almost waxy texture here. A blend of 80% Vermentino and 20% Chardonnay, this will provide extremely enjoyable drinking for the next year.

TASTING NOTES
The 2012 Barrua Isola dei Nuraghi is lively, deep ruby red with complex scents of mature red fruits (mainly black cherry), spices, notes of liquorice and hints of myrtle. An elegant wine that shows exceptional workmanship. This wine pairs well with braised lamb or rich stews such as osso buco, or a Moroccan lamb tagine.
