Capichera Isola dei Nuraghi Rosso IGT "Assajé" 2022

A red Isola dei Nuraghi IGT from Sardinia, made by Capichera from a single grape variety. Half of the wine is matured in oak barrels for eight months. It is ruby red with violet reflections. The nose combines ethereal, vinous notes with cherries in spirit, blackberry and blueberry, followed by spice and balsamic touches of eucalyptus and cocoa. The palate is full, warm and savoury, with fruit to the fore and a persistent finish of great character. The tannins remain bright and solid, and should carry the wine for years to come. It pairs well with red meat dishes, such as grilled beef rib.
