Expert Review - Vintage 2023

JamesSuckling.com by Claire Nesbitt writes 92 Points | Mocha, chocolate truffles, cassis, oranges and lavender on the nose of this fragrant red. It’s full-bodied, warming and aromatic, filled with ripe blue and orange fruit and accompanied by ripe tannins.

Winemaker Description
The 2023 season was hot but the Sulcis region received rain in spring and also in August, enabling the grapes to mature well and with good quality. Sulcis also avoided grape losses due to hail that occurred in other regions of Sardinia. Overall, it was an excellent year for both red and white grapes in terms of quality.

A deep ruby red color, this elegant and intense wine presents aromas of red fruits like cherry and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with black fruit flavors like blackberry and soft saline notes along with elegant traces of capers, rosemary, and black pepper. The finish is velvety and long.

Montessu is named after an archaeological site near Agricola Punica’s Narcao estate. The region is dominated by Carignano, an indigenous grape known for its elegant tannins. It is a sun-loving grape that thrives in the brown earth composed of calcareous clay and sandy soil. Production per acre is low (640 gallons per acre).

Hand harvested grapes undergo temperature-controlled fermentation.

Each variety is vinified separately, and the wine is transferred to French oak barriques (2-3 years old) with a medium toast. The wine ages for 12 months then rests for about 45 days in cement tanks before being bottled without filtration. Released after 3 months in bottle.
