Barbera

Isola dei Nuraghi I.G.T.

A decisive red wine that combines strength and refinement. Matured in barriques for one year, it releases intense aromas of cherry, currant, and undergrowth. On the palate, it is warm, enveloping, and persistent, with notes that evolve over time. Perfect with roasts, game, and aged cheeses.
