Agricola Punica
Agricola Punica –
Sardinian grape varieties, Tuscan craftsmanship
Agricola Punica was born from an unusual partnership: Cantina di Santadi in southwest Sardinia and the legendary Tuscan oenologist Giacomo Tachis founded the winery together with the aim of taking the potential of the old island vines seriously – not to modernize, but to unlock it.
Sardinia boasts grape varieties that are virtually unknown elsewhere. Carignano del Sulcis grows here on ancient, ungrafted vines in sandy coastal soil – a natural protection against phylloxera that allows the vines to live for centuries. Vermentino thrives in the heat and salty winds of the Mediterranean, developing into a variety with true character: herbaceous, mineral, with a dry finish reminiscent of maquis shrubland and sea air.
Punica's wines are not showpieces. They taste of the barren soil where the vines grow, of dark berries, Mediterranean herbs, and a warmth that cannot be artificially created. Anyone seeking Sardinian wine with depth will find one of the island's most compelling producers here.
