Agricola Punica, one of the most renowned names in the world in wine production is a joint venture between Dr. Sebastiano Rosa, the Santadi winery, Tenuta San Guido, Antonello Pilloni, President of Santadi and the legendary Tuscan winemaker Giacomo Tachis. It was the latter that thought of Sardinia and convinced everyone that he could produce a great wine from grapes grown in the Sulcis. In 2002, Agricola Punica acquired land divided into two estates: Barrua and Narcao, located in south-western Sardinia, in an area known as Sulcis Southern. Everyone knew well what he was capable with this land and after the first harvest all agreed they had a resounding wine.
White wine made from selected Vermentino and Chardonnay grapes, vinified with cryo-maceration techniques to preserve the wine from oxidation. Harvesting done by hand at dawn to maintain the characteristic varietal notes of these grapes, mostly coming from vineyards with sandy soil.
Tasting Notes

Samas Isola dei Nauraghi IGT 2017
So much papaya and mango on the nose with under-tones of lemons and melons. Full body, lively and lime and hot-stone character. Tangy. Drink now. Screw cap. – October 22nd, 2018
