The 2005 Carignano del Sulcis Riserva Rocca Rubia delivers a blast of fruit, followed by wild herbs, earthiness, spices, new leather, licorice and roasted coffee beans in an utterly beautiful expression of this native Sardinian grape. The wine possesses gorgeous length and superb overall balance. This engaging red should continue to drink well over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2016. This is another strong set of wines from Santadi.Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
