Montessu Isola dei Nuraghi Carignane Blend
Sardinia, Italy
The 2018 Montessu Isola dei Nuraghi mixes crushed violets with hints of blackberry and spice to form an alluring bouquet. This is a feminine and understated effort, showcasing floral-laced woodland berries, minerals and juicy acids. It tapers off clean and poised with lingering notes of sweet plum and licorice. While this vintage doesn’t show the power that I usually associate with this wine, it is a well-balanced expression that will excel at the dinner table. (Eric Guido, Vinous, March 2021)

Goodfellas sauce. Surprised how dark the wine is. Black cherries and lots of them, flowers, with a mineral component. Love the finish. Smooth and savory.
