Producer: Cantina Santa Maria La Palma
Vintage: 2007
Region: Sardenga
Sub-Region: Alghero DOC
Varietal: Cagnulari (100%)
Color: Red
The native Sardinian grapes used to make this wine are grown in the Villa Assunta district. The soil there is chalky, which helps to ensure perfect ripening. Thanks to the care they take over the vinification process, and to the prolonged period it spends aging before being released onto the market, this noble wine displays an elegant structure and an unmistakable aroma. Intense, seductive and typical aromas, with hints of liquorice and forest fruits. The pallete is rounded, smooth, intense and persistent, with assertive notes of red berry fruit and Marasca cherry.

|
|
Our Price: $16.99
|
|
|
Producer: Contini
Vintage: 2008
Region: Sardegna
Varietal: Nieddera (90%), other native varietals
Nieddera is the name of an ancient species of vine, native to Sardinia. The Contini Nieddera is the result of a wise combination with other select Sardinian varieties. The mus, obtained by gentle pressing, ferments for approximately 10 days, in contact with the grape skins. Maturing takes place in part in chestnut casks of 25 hl capacity and in part in barriques made of oak from the central massif of France. The average maturing period is approximately 10 months. While it can be drunk immediately after the initial maturing period, Nieddera improves progressively with time. A perfect wine to accompany meat, poultry, and game dishes.
