Agricola Punica Barrua 2020 is a full-bodied Sardinian red blend from the Sulcis Iglesente region in southwest Sardinia. Agricola Punica is joint venture between the Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia Group, Sardinian winery Cantina di Santadi and the legendary Tuscan winemaker Giacomo Tachis. The Barrua blend is Carignan-based with smaller proportions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Each variety is vinified separately. The wine matures for 18 months in French oak barriques (40% new) and is then rested for up to 50 days in cement tanks. It then spends a further six months in bottle before release. The wine is soft and textured with rich, dark spicy plum and cherry fruit, dark gamey hints and vanilla-accented oak spice.

Vinous
Dark as night, the 2020 Isola dei Nuraghi Barrua smolders with a beguiling bouquet of sweet spice and pipe tobacco that gives way to plum sauce, grilled herbs and gravel dust. This is pure elegance. It's velvety in feel with ripe red and black fruit tones that smooth over the palate as tension builds. Hints of blood orange and dark chocolate amass toward the close. Notes of fresh coffee grinds mingle with stony mineral tones and fine-grained tannins as the 2020 tapers off long, potent and structured. While more approachable than the typical Barrua at this age, the 2020 still possesses exceptional balance and complexity. Give it another year or two to blossom.
