Nose is a bit fruity, maybe some raison undertones. The raison aroma really comes through after some aeration. Nice flavor, ripe red fruit. Very tasty. It does need some breathing time. — 8 years ago

Carignano del Sulcis DOC 2011, 13.5%.
Bottle tasted in October 2014. Limited quantities produced with Carignano gapes from pre-phylloxera vineyard located right next to the beach and the sea, on the South West coast of Sardinia Island.
Color is a bit brown, but nose is quite rich: sweet, vinous, light pastry, liquored cherries, and even a little green.
In the mouth rich of smooth tannins and taste of licorice, almost a "chewable" wine. I really liked it! — 10 years ago

Now that's the local nectar!!!! Eating pork Milanese in Milan with a bottle of the owners wine from Sardegna. Mom is feeling those earthy notes of fresh grass and olive trees but I'll be honest after a bottle all I smell is GRAPE! (It's a good thing) — 9 years ago
