Argiolas Perdera Monica di Sardegna 2017

89POINTS

16^¼/20

Cagliari, Sardinia, ItalyEver heard of the monica grape before? Fret not; this grape grows exclusively on Sardegna (Sardinia). Perdera means place of many stones, reflecting the environment this monica grew up in. 5% Carignano, and 5% Bovale Sardo were tipped in, and the lot was aged in neutral barrels and cement vats to preserve freshness. Voluptuous black plum, cassis, blackberry jam fills the soft palate, imbued with a rocky Mediterranean scrub that sets its place. Tannins are present, lightly sticky, but well-integrated and supportive of the fruit. Quite charming, and with a freshness unexpected for a bigger, 14% red.Tasted: 20 November 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
