The IGT Isola dei Nuraghi 2011 Barrua is a hearty blend of 85% Carignano, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot that is aged up to 18 months in oak. The wine boasts a compelling international signature that borrows from the great wines of Bolgheri and Bordeaux. The fruit reaches perfect maturity with luscious ripeness and deep aromatic intensity. At the back are pretty spice, tobacco and dark chocolate tones that build the wine's personality. Barrua will hold five years or more.

Sebastiano Rosa earned important notches in his winemaking belt thanks to years spent making Sassicaia at Tenuta San Guido in Tuscany. A few years ago, Sebastiano transferred his production knowledge and passion to this estate in Sardinia.
