Sella & Mosca Terre Rare 2025 Carignano del Sulcis

A Sardinian red from Sella & Mosca, made from Carignano, an old Sardinian variety thought to have been brought to the island by the Phoenicians. In the southern Sulcis area the grapes are often grown as bush vines. The wine spends a year in second-passage barriques and then six months in bottle. It is a thoroughly local red with Mediterranean and salty notes. It is ruby red, with pomegranate, redcurrant and wild blackberry on the nose, then aromatic herbs and liquorice. The palate is warm and full, with soft tannins and spice on the aftertaste.
