What to Expect

The classic Bordeaux blends rely on either Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon for the bulk of the wine with additions of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec helping to add complexity, color, body and structure to the finished wine.

Made from 90% Cannonau, 5% Carignano and 5% Bovale Sardo grown in the Costera vineyard. The wine is aged in French barriques for 6-8 months prior to bottling. The intense, ruby red color tends toward orange with age. The full bouquet displays typical varietal character. Warm and full bodied on the palate with excellent texture, ripe fruit flavors and pleasant tannins.

This wine absolutely flies off the shelf in most Sardinian cheap to mid-priced restaurants/pizzerias (along with Grotta Rossa) as its "qualità-prezzo" is unbeatable. I've heard that it's our version of Chateauneuf du Pape but I couldn't comment on that. It's a medium to full bodied wine that tastes of mature fruit and finishes with a lingering tannin. You would expect to pay around 7 euros for a bottle in Sardinia or 12 to 15 in a restaurant.
