2010 Barrua, Isola dei Nuraghi, Punica, Sardinia, Italy

Carignan, as its name suggests, is presumably of Spanish in origin, from around the town of Carineña west of Priorat in the province of Aragon.

Located in the region of Sardinia, Agricola Punica is a collaboration between several prominent names in the wine industry, including the legendary winemaker Sebastiano Rosa, Santadi (a well-established Sardinian winery), Tenuta San Guido (the producer of Sassicaia, one of Italy’s most famous wines), and the winemaker Giacomo Tachis.
