Agricola Punica “Montessu” Isola dei Nuraghi IGT

Region: Basso Sulcis, Sardegna
Grapes: Carignano, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon

Description:  Intense ruby-red colour with bright black cherry, blackberry and liquorice. Rich and full bodied with bright acidity and fine, mouth-coating tannins. This wine has a long velvety finish with flavours of Sardinian native herbs and pepper.
Winemaking: The grapes are hand harvested, destemmed and the must ferments on skins with periodic pumping over to extract the beautiful colour, flavour and tannins from the skins. The wine is pressed and aged in French oak barrels for about 12 months.
Sommelier’s Selection: The Montessu is built to be enjoyed with a meal of red meats and roasted vegetables. The acidity will slice through the oils and fats of the meat and
vegetables to showcase their flavours. We love to match this wine with the Jacks Creek
MB3+ striploin with Cannonau braised eschallots and parsnips.
