Essentija Bovale Sardinia Bovale

Pretty tannic, but balanced, leather dark fruit, cream cheese note on the nose (lactic acid?), good cooking spices too. Mid bodied. — a day ago

Bovale Red Blend 2019

Bitter middle at first, but give it some time to breathe and it will relax. Amazing fragrance. Really great, dark, super unique — a year ago

Cantina Lilliu

Chida Rosso IGT Isola dei Nuraghi Red Blend 2017

Delicious and versatile red. Perfect with mushroom pasta, but light enough to drink alone. Picked this up at Eataly, where it was advertised as a staff pick. Let’s just say the staff has great taste!! — 3 years ago

Argiolas

Korem Isola dei Nuraghi Bovale 2020

Dark. Deep, earthy, terroir. Dark, dark fruit but it's not driving the bus. — 2 months ago

Cardedu

"Astili" Cannonau Blend 2019

Skin contact Sardinian white. Didn’t unfurl as hoped but wasn’t completely closed down either. Suspect air & time will greatly help. Plenty of savory notes, marigolds, fennel, and Asian pear. Dry style. — 8 months ago

Bovale Utiel-Requena Old Vines Bobal 2019

Nicely made and exuding character. Nose has bright, deep plummy fruit, along with nice, fragrant spice and a wisp of smoke. Mouthfilling, pure fruit on the palate, with a light touch, finish turns savory and shows lots of stony minerality. Nice acids and a bit of soft, chalky tannin comes out at the end. Terrific value. — 2 years ago

Bovale Utiel-Requena Bobal 2019

This Bobal kind of reminds me of a big, muscular left bank Bordeaux. Saturated color. Nose has lots of graphite, cassis, elderberry, and dried twigs and leaves. Dense, but in a lean and muscular way that avoids any jamminess. Dark cassis and crushed rock are the main components. Bone dry and with very good acids. Tannins are present but reasonably soft. Will be better in a couple of years but nice now too. — a year ago

Bovale Bobal Rosé 2018

Really lovely fruit — peach, tangerine skin and cherries, and melon — with dried herbs on the finish. Really great with tikka masala.
