Capichera Isola dei Nuraghi Rosso IGT "Assajé" 2023

A red wine from Sardinia, made as a single-variety Isola dei Nuraghi Rosso IGT by Capichera. Half of it is matured in oak barrels for eight months, and the vineyard work and winemaking behind it are carried out with close attention to detail. It is ruby red with violet reflections. The nose combines ethereal, vinous notes with cherries in spirit, blackberry and blueberry, then spice, balsamic hints, eucalyptus and cocoa. The palate is full, warm and savoury, with fruit to the fore and a persistent finish. The tannins are still bright and solid, and the wine is already enjoyable now. It suits red meat dishes, such as grilled beef rib.
