A joint venture to create great Sardinian wines
The Agricola Punica winery is a joint venture, or mixed company, founded by Dr Sebastiano Rosa, oenologist at the Tenuta di San Guido, by the Tenuta di San Guido itself, by the Santadi winery, by Antonello Pilloni, president of the Santadi winery, and by the internationally renowned Tuscan oenologist Giacomo Tachis. There are many links between these figures who, as if that were not enough, now produce wines that are nothing short of extraordinary from the vineyards of the southern Sulcis area.
A Mediterranean terroir
We are, in fact, in the municipality of Santadi, in the province of Carbonia-Iglesias, and it is here that both native and international grape varieties have been grown since 2002. Among the rows of vines, alongside Carignano and Vermentino, we also find Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Chardonnay, which are cultivated with the utmost respect for the environment, nature and the ecosystem, producing pure, concentrated and rich grapes.
In the winery, each stage of production is carefully monitored, resulting in wines that have come to represent the highest level of quality that Sardinia is currently capable of producing.
The wines of Agricola Punica
The 65 hectares of vineyards, divided into two distinct estates - Barrua and Narcau - currently produce two great Sardinian red wines and an excellent white wine, all three with the “Isola dei Nuraghi” protected geographical indication.
The reds, “Barrua” and “Montessu”, are distinguished by the excellent quality of the grapes, which give them their colour, structure, alcoholic richness and, above all, the smoothness provided by the perfect fusion of tannins and acidity.
The white wine, “Samas”, is characterised by a moderate alcohol content, freshness and fruity notes that make it particularly pleasant.
The wines produced by “Agricola Punica” are a guarantee of quality, as one would expect from the names that created them and saw them come to life. Simply exceptional wines.
