100% juniper from Sardinia

A must try for a dry Martini

Thick, intense and unbelievably long
One of my beat sensorial experience i have had in the last few years.

The 2016 Isola dei Nuraghi Turriga is intense, spicy and packed full of tart blackberry and cherry, further complicated by shavings of cedar and animal musk. It’s silky and polished in feel, displaying an unexpected elegance. The dark fruits and exotic spice give way to grippy tannins and minerals toward the close. The palate aches under its youthful tension, with notes of black currants, bitter coffee and tobacco lasting for well over a minute. The 2016 Turriga will need some time in the cellar to show its best, but it will be worth the wait. It’s a blend of 85% Cannonau, 5% Carignano, 5% Bovale Sardo and 5% Malvasia Nera.

Dark ruby. Fresh floral, chocolate, plum, blueberry and smoke on the complex, perfumed nose and in the mouth. Big, deep, smoky, chocolaty wine that finishes long and ripe but suave. This will win many fans. Cellar it for another couple of years and then enjoy for another 10 years after that. A blend of 40% Cannonau, 30% Carignano and 30% Bovale Sardo. Cannonau gives perfume but not much color; Bovale Sardo adds color and acidity; and the Carignano contributes a refined mouthfeel and a little bit of freshness to what otherwise might have been jammy wines. S’Arai was a field blend until 1998; since then, each variety has been vinified singly, and I find the wine much more precise and focused as a result. (Ian D'Agata, Vinous, March 2018) — 8 years ago

Oh yes…gimme all them funky cherries and all dat black licorice. There were also Ferrara Red Hots®️and a generous hit of black pepper. I simply adore Pegau; for all of its unapologetic character and authenticity. This 2015 brought the business tonight and was smashing with cassoulet, Toulouse sausage and duck confit. — 2 years ago

One of the best Amaros I've ever had. Found it very accidentally in Rome at Cafe Ferrara Aug 2018. An amazing meal also found by accident. They let me buy a btl to take home wo their restaurant markup. Have yet to see it anywhere in the US since. Made it last a while but had to take down the last few sips before the move. Dark orange pith, amazingly balanced bitterness with the perfect amount of sweetness. Waaaay over delivering! — 7 years ago

100% Graciano aka Muristellu aka Bovale Sardo. Immediately recognizable nose when opened with perfume of floral and cherry. On the palate it has nice fruit boysenberry, cranberry, and red cherry. Lively acidity, but still full bodied. Earthy & spice on the finish with a hint of vanilla. — 7 years ago

This is a new and interesting wine to me. Perdera translates to, “place of many stones”. The wine is composed of 90% Monica, 5% Carignano, 5% Bovale Sardo. Monica is an exclusively local grape of Sardinia. The wine is medium bodied. Notes of cherries and plums, followed by mild notes of peppercorn, anise and herbs. Fresh acidity along with mild tannin. Very enjoyable! — 6 years ago
