I have been a fan of Solengo since the mid-1990s. The 2013 vintage shows great generosity in its ripe fruit, with currant and stone character, a firm undertone of tannins and a flavorful finish. Try in 2018 but already very attractive to taste.
Producer
Argiano S.p.A. Società Agricola
Agricola Punica was founded in 2002, as a joint venture between Italy’s most elite winemakers and consultants. The list of all-star players includes, oenologist Sebastiano Rosa, Sardinian winery Cantina di Santadi, Tenuta San Guido under the leadership of Marchese Nicoló Incisa della Rocchetta, Santadi’s President Antonello Pilloni, and the iconic Tuscan consulting enologist, Giacomo Tachis. Fascinated by the idyllic connection of Sardina’s terroir and the Carignano grape, this extraordinary team decided to build Agricola Punica in the southwestern region of the island, caleed Sulcis Meridionale. The 150-hectare estate is divided among two vineyard sites, Barrua and Narcao. Though the land sits within the DOC of Carignano del Sulcis walls, the wines are labeled under the IGT of Isola dei Nuraghi. Today, the winery produces two stand-out wines based on the Carignano variety, the Barrua and the Montessu.
