Agricola Punica's Barrua is a typical red wine from the Isola dei Nuraghi (Sardinia). It's made with Carignano, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, vinified in purity, coming from the spurred cordon vineyards cultivated in the lower Sulcis area. It is an elegant wine that shows an impeccable workmanship.
Tasting Notes

Malolactic fermentation confers softness to the wine, which is then aged in French oak barrels for approximately. 18 months (30% new). It is subsequently bottle-aged for at least a further12 months.
Ageing
