Agricola Punica

3.6/5See the 35 reviews

In the mid-1980s, Sebastiano Rosa, oenologist at Tenuta San Guido (producer of Sassicaia), offered his services to Cantina di Santadi. It was then that theAgricola Punica project was born.

It wasn't until 2002, under the impetus of Giaccomo Tachis - a renowned Tuscan oenologist - thatAgricola Punica became official with the purchase of its first vineyards. These 170 hectares (of which 65 are planted with vines), divided into two estates: Barrua and Narcao, are located in the southern part of Sardinia known as Sulcis Méridionale.

Agricola Punica's wines come under the Isola dei Nuraghi PGI: Samas white, Montessu and Barrua red.

At the helm ofAgricola Punica are Sebastiano Rosa, Cantina Santadi, Tenuta San Guido (Sassicaia), Giaccomo Tachis and Antonello Pilloni (president of Cantina Santadi).

"Crafted by the same people behind the legendary Tuscan Sassicaia, this is a Sardinian blend of 85% Carignano, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot. Barrua 2013 is a beautifully balanced, straightforward expression with dark fruit aromas that flow effortlessly from the bouquet. These notes of blackberry, plum, dried fig mingle with spice, tar, licorice and black olive. This vintage really works in terms of bouquet intensity and precision. The tannins are integrated, and the wine is textured and long." (Wine Advocate 2017 - Robert Parker)

Agricola Punica - Montessu 2015

Isola dei Nuraghi|Red wine

3.8/5 (4 reviews)

91/100 Robert Parker

92/100 Wine Spectator

"This is the estate's second wine, a tiny bit less formal than Barrua. Montessu 2015 is a blend of Carignan, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah. It is aged in barrels for up to a year. The wine reveals an almost black color with ruby highlights that glow from within. The Cabernet aromas of black fruits, spices, grilled herbs and black olives are instantly recognizable. The wine is structured and soft-textured. It grips the palate with firm intensity." (Wine Advocate 2017 - Robert Parker)
