Agricola Punica Samas IGT 2018 750ml
Agricola Punica Samas IGT 2018
The 2018 Samas is a lovely golden, straw-yellow color that scintillates in the glass as light passes through it. There is a distinguished Mediterranean aroma in the... nose, like you’re standing on one of Sardegna’s high hilltops and looking out over the sea. The bouquet pops with tropical and citrus notes revealing a light freshness that explodes on the palate as you take your first sip. Balanced and clean with fresh lemons, tangerines and orange, there is a bit of salinity that grabs your attention. It all then vanishes with a clean finish. Wow. An extra note on the wine making process: The wine is pressed at an average temperature of 60°F and kept cool while refining. Open vats for the vinification process allow for proper yeast control and while most whites ferment for a week or two at most, this little wine ferments for 40 days...that’s crazy! After pressing and fermenting, the two wines (Vermentino and Chardonnay) are then blended and allowed to rest in concrete for 3 months unfiltered and as naturally made as possible. This attention to detail is amazing for such an affordable wine!

Agricola Punica
Agricola Punica Barrua IGT 2018 750ml
Agricola Punica
Giacomo Tachis is known as the “father of the Super-Tuscan movement.” You might think that the consulting winemaker behind legendary wines like Sassicaia,... Ornellaia, Tignanello and Solaia would reflect on his game-changing work in Tuscany and rest on his laurels, but you’d be wrong. After serving as a consulting enologist in the early 1980s for the Consortium of Sardinian wines, Tachis was tapped to by Antonello Pilloni, the owner of Cantina di Santadi, to help elevate its wines. Working on the sea-swept, sun-drenched island, Tachis fell in love with Sardinia’s wild beauty, and he felt both inspired by the island’s 5,000 years of winemaking history as well as the region’s untapped potential, so he began tinkering, much as he had in Toscana. Tachis began blending Sardinia’s native Carignano grape with Bordeaux varietals, and soon, he knew he was onto something very special. In the late 1990s, Tachis and Pilloni joined forces with winemaking legend Marquis Nicolò Incisa della Rocchetta and bought two estates in Sardinia’s Sulcis Meridionale region. Agricola Punica was born with the 2002 release of its Barrua, and Montessu followed in 2005. Today, the 420-acre AgriPunica estate, still jointly run by Pilloni and the Incisa della Rocchetta family, continues in the trailblazing path of the late, great Giacomo Tachis, crafting outstanding wines that marry the robust allure of Sardinia’s Carignano with the elegance of international-style grapes, even adding a white, Samas, that uses the same “Super-Sardinian” principle to tremendous results.
