Saraja Isola dei Nuraghi Rosso IGT Libaltai 2023

A red wine from Carignano grown in south-eastern Sardinia, from vines of about 15 years on sandy soils with clay, schist and basalt. Carignano, widely grown in Spain and southern France, has found a perfect habitat here. It matures for 9 months in steel and is a decisive, expressive wine with a surprisingly silky palate. Ruby red. The nose shows blackberry, blueberry, ripe cherry, undergrowth, Mediterranean scrub and spice. The palate is intense and pleasantly rich, with enveloping, well-defined tannins and excellent persistence. It pairs with mixed grills, roasts, meat pasta dishes and cured meats.
