Carignano del Sulcis 2022 Riserva Doc Terre Rare - Sella & Mosca

That of carignano is an ancient Sardinian vine variety, probably brought to the island by the Phoenicians. Typical of the southern areas of Sulcis, the carignano grape is often bred to alberello, and gives wines capable of telling like few others the story of the territory where they are born. This is also the case of "Terre Rare," precisely Carignano del Sulcis produced in the Riserva version and labeled "Sella & Mosca." A Sardinian red that speaks the narrow dialect, offering a never trivial and never predictable drink, rich in Mediterranean and brackish hints. Left to age for a year in second-passage barriques and aged for six months in the bottle, it is a Carignano del Sulcis that is truly coiffed.

Tasting Notes.: Ruby red is the color at first glance. Intense and varied bouquet on the nose, with hints of pomegranate, currants and wild blackberries followed by nuances of herbs and licorice. Warm and consistent in the mouth, caressing in the tannic texture, as fruity as the nose and spicy in the aftertaste. Long persistence.

Pairings: Ideal with meats, it is excellent with baked veal cheek.
