Agricola Punica Montessu Isola dei Nuraghi

Description

A rich intense, powerful, full-bodied red wine with black plum, black cherry and tobacconotes. Easy drinking and pairs well with red meat and game.nThe cooperation between Giacomo Tachis and Tenuta San Guido of Bolgheri dates back to the early 70s, while the liaison with Cantina di Santadi started at the beginning of the 1980s.nIt was during one of his first visits to the Sulcis area in the Southwest of Sardinia that Tachis realised its great potential for producing red wines. While a new chapter in the Sardinian winemaking was being written by Tachis, Cantina Santadi launched its first high quality bottled red wine, the Terre Brune, which blazed the trail for many other successful wines including the famous ‘Barrua’.nThe mission of Agripunica was to produce the finest wines, taking advantage of the local Sardinian varietal Carignano (Carignan) and blending it with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. With these ideas in mind, in 2002 Tachis made the first red wine for Agripunica, ‘Barrua’, followed three years later by their second label ‘Montessu’.
