Tasting Notes: The Punica Barrua, comprised of mostly Carignan, opens with complex scent of ripe red fruits, black cherry, pomegranate, spices, notes of licorice and hints of myrtle. It is full-bodied with a velvety texture and balanced tannins, ending in a lengthy, elegant finish.
Estate History: Punica is a winery in Sardegna founded by Tenuta San Guido, makers of the Super Tuscan Sassicaia and Sardinian winery Santadi’s President Antonello Pilloni. Working alongside the legendary Tuscan winemaker, Giacomo Tachis, who believed that Sardinia could produce a fantastic wine from grapes grown in Sulcis, the estate produces some of the finest wines from the Island.
