Strikingly different and distinctive red wine from Sardinia, this un-oaked wine offers delicious and tantalizing Carignano flavors; the wine has a deep ruby red color, expressive scents of black currents and ripe cherries and slightly tangy ripe black fruit flavors with a pleasantly long and spicy finish; 2001 was a very hot vintage and this sunshine Mediterranean wine has excellent concentration and a heady 14.5% alcohol; match with BBQ meats and grilled or roasted game; Capichera has been making high-quality wines for nearly a century and they are especially renowned for their Vermentino white wines and Carignano red wines.
