Agricola Punica 2002 Barrua Red (Isola dei Nuraghi)
- Editors' Choice
- $50
This is a ripe, deeply concentrated and solid wine that boasts cherries under spirit, plum preserves, humus, tobacco and tea leaf. So thick, it’s almost syrupy: this is a powerhouse wine.

Agricola Punica 2007 Barrua Red (Isola dei Nuraghi)
- $60
A blend of Carignano (85%), Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Barrua is the so-called Sassicaia of Sardinia. (In fact, it represents a partnership between the island’s most prestigious co-op, Cantina di Santadi and the makers of Tuscany’s Sassicaia.) This beautiful vintage shows wild sage, black currant and loads of soft spice.

Agricola Punica 2003 Barrua Red (Isola dei Nuraghi)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
From the makers of Tuscany’s legendary Sassicaia, this Carignano-Cabernet-Merlot Sardinian blend boasts sunshine within. The wine delivers warm and penetrating aromas of forest berry, Mediterranean herbs and finely etched toasted notes thanks to 15 months in oak. It’s thick and firm in the mouth with bruising tannins and a long, tasty finish.

Agricola Punica 2008 Montessu Red (Isola dei Nuraghi)
- $35
This wonderful blend of Carignano (60%), Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah is one of the island’s emerging “super Sardinian” wines. Plush, rich and extracted, the wine offers the density and longevity to stand up to veal or pork.
