Barrua Isola dei Nuraghi IGT

The Barrua is a prime example of what Sardinia can do when old Carignano vines meet one of Italy's smartest oenologists. Giacomo Tachis – the creator of Sassicaia and Tignanello – developed this wine for Agricola Punica and set the bar accordingly high.

Agricola Punica was created as a joint project between the Sardinian Cantina di Santadi and the Tuscan Sassicaia group. The vines in Sulcis in southwestern Sardinia grow on red, iron-rich granite sand – a soil that drives Carignano to unusual depth. 18 months of barrique aging round off the wine without dominating it.

In the glass: dark blackberry, cherry jam, and black olive, underneath licorice, dried myrtle, and a hint of cedar from the barrel. The palate is full-bodied with ripe, velvety tannins, good structure, and a long, slightly spicy finish.

The Winery

Agricola Punica

Agricola Punica – one of the most exciting stories of Sardinia. Founded as a joint project between the Cantina di Santadi and the Tuscan winemaker Giacomo Tachis. The mission: to bring the island's ancient vines to life.

Sardinia is no ordinary wine country. Grape varieties like Carignano and Vermentino carry millennia of history within them. At Punica, they give these characters space. No pretense, no masking – just fruit, sun, barren soil.

What awaits you? Deep red berries, Mediterranean herbs, a salty hint of sea air. And a warmth that feels like an evening on the island. Punica – Sardinian roots, unforgettable.
