Montessu 2020 - AGRIPUNICA
€19.03
VAT included
The Isola dei Nuraghi Montessu di Agripunica was born in vineyards located in the lower Sulcis, in the south-western part of Sardinia. It is mainly produced with Carignano grapes and with Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, harvested and selected entirely by hand, between the second half of September and mid-October. Fermentation takes place, with maceration in contact with the skins, in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 25-30°C. After the malolactic fermentation, the wine ages for 15 months in French oak barriques before being bottled. It has a dark and deep ruby red colour. The nose opens with intense aromas of cherry and black raspberry, enriched with notes of rosemary and licorice. On the palate it is full and elegant, pleasantly concentrated, with soft and velvety tannins. Perfect to accompany rich first courses and red meats, this red wine is ideal in combination with game and aged cheeses. Serve at 16 degrees.

NOTES The Montessu of Agripunica is the soft, velvety and powerful expression of the Sulcis territory, in Sardinia, where the name of Isola dei Nuraghi is in force. It was born from the collaboration between the Sardinian winery Santadi and Tenuta San Guido , which gave life to the Agricola Punica with the aim of creating robust and important but very pleasant Sardinian wines, inaugurating the concept of super-Sardinian, in analogy with that of super -tuscan.
