Agricola Punica Barrua Isola Dei Nuraghi 2020 750ML

Producer Description:

Barrua is the name of a vineyard parcel within the Basso Sulcis region in southwest Sardinia. Grapes are sourced from the Barrua and Narcao vineyards. The Sulcis region is dominated by Carignano, an indigenous grape that is known for its elegant and velvety tannins. Carignano thrives in the local climate and well-exposed brown earth composed of calcareous clay and sandy soil. Winters are mild and summers are hot and dry, with an extraordinary average of seven hours of sunlight daily that fully ripens sun-loving grapes like Carignano. The Mediterranean Sea regulates the extreme summer heat and stabilizes the climate. Production per hectare is low (about 5,000 liters/ha). Hand harvested grapes undergo temperature-controlled fermentation. Each variety is vinified separately, and the wine is transferred to French oak barriques (40% new oak, 60% best second passage barrels) with a medium toast. The wine ages for about 18 months then rests for 40-50 days in cement tanks and 6 months in bottle. The final composition varies each year based on the specific conditions of each harvest.
