Tasting Set Includes:
- Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Rosso
Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Rosso is a ruby red color. Aromas of ripe fruits and sweet spices. On the palate the wine is fresh, fine balanced and rich. Very elegant. - Argiolas Costera
Costera shows the typicity of the Cannonau grape with flavors of very ripe strawberries, black cherries, herbs, and spices. The warmth and intense sunlight of southern Sardinia can be seen and felt in the wine with unexpectedly deep color and fullness on the palate. French oak barriques provide rounded tannins and flavors of vanilla. - Jankara Vermentino di Gallura Superiore
From a single granite-rich vineyard near Gallura. Harvested in early fall, the grapes are delicately pressed and then fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine ages in stainless steel as well for about six months followed by two months in bottle. It shows the appellation’s hallmark balance between alcohol, acidity, and fruit. Intensely aromatic with tropical nuances and a lovely finish.
