Agricola Punica Barrua IGT 2014

Agricola Punica Barrua IGT 2014 is the signature flagship of the Sardinian winery Agricola Punica. The blend is dominated by Carignano and enhanced with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, resulting in depth, structure, and concentrated fruit. The 2014 vintage displays a serene balance between sunny terroir and delicate oak notes, allowing Barrua to maintain its distinctive style. The winery stands for artisanal precision and a clear regional identity.

Tasting Note: In the glass, Barrua appears deep ruby ​​with garnet reflections. The nose unfolds dark fruits such as plum, cassis, and dried figs, accompanied by espresso, smoke, vanilla, and a hint of mint. The palate displays volume and substance, carried by ripe fruit, fine mineral notes, graphite, and balsamic nuances; the tannins are elegant and present, and the wood spice is well integrated. The finish is long, focused, and spicy, with a lingering freshness that reflects complexity.

Optimal drinking period: approximately 2020–2026; the wine can age further beyond this time. Food pairing suggestion: Grilled ribeye steak, rack of lamb, or dishes with wild mushrooms and aged cheese – Barrua best reveals its fruitiness, spice, and structure at this time.
