'Terre Brune' Carignano del Sulcis Superiore DOC Santadi 2018

The Carignano del Sulcis Superiore Terre Brune from the renowned Sardinian Santadi winery is an extraordinary red, a real enological pearl of the South Sardinian winery. A terroir wine that well represents this Sardinian sub-region with a millenary geology. The label, belonging to the Eccellenze line, is the result of the processing of native Carignano (95%) and Bovaleddu (5%) grapes. From this blend comes a label that has obtained various national and international awards, including that of the prestigious Slowine Guide. The Carignano del Sulcis Superiore Terre Brune takes shape from grapes harvested by hand between the second half of September and the first ten days of October. The harvest is followed by fermentation in steel, after which the wine is aged for 16-18 months in new French oak barriques, then bottled. Before being marketed, however, it still ages in glass for 1 year. The result is a red with excellent structure. A complex, soft, elegant wine with a rich and warm sip, for a full-bodied, irrepressible label with an important longevity.
