Producer: Cantina Santa Maria La Palma
Vintage: 2007
Region: Sardenga
Sub-Region: Alghero DOC
Varietal: Cagnulari (100%)
Color: Red
The native Sardinian grapes used to make this wine are grown in the Villa Assunta district. The soil there is chalky, which helps to ensure perfect ripening. Thanks to the care they take over the vinification process, and to the prolonged period it spends aging before being released onto the market, this noble wine displays an elegant structure and an unmistakable aroma. Intense, seductive and typical aromas, with hints of liquorice and forest fruits. The pallete is rounded, smooth, intense and persistent, with assertive notes of red berry fruit and Marasca cherry.

2005 Carminucci Paccaossa

Our Price: $39.99
Sale Price: $30.99
Savings: $9.00
|

Producer: Carminucci
Vintage: 2005
Region: Le Marche
Varietal: Montepulciano (100%)
Color: Red
Carminucci is a winery on the southeastern coastal edge of Le Marche, and (like its close neighbor, Abruzzo, to the south) produces many wines from Montepulciano, Sangiovese and various white wine grapes. The winery was founded in 1928 by Giovanni Carminucci, and continues to craft high quality wines that represent Le Marche under the direction of Giovanni’s son. Although they are an older winery, they use only modern technology to produce fantastic red, white and rose wines as well as olive oil.
Paccaossa is produced from 100% Montepulciano grapes, which are determined as the best of Carminucci’s vineyards. The wine spends 18 months in the barrel and 6 months in the bottle before it is released, and the result it a full-bodied, persistent wine with a deep red color and a strong bouquet of cherry and oak nuances. This wine has a great structure and a long, long finish.
It is a good idea to open this wine a couple hours before drinking it. Once it has opened up, pair this wine with steak, strong cheese or heavy sausage dishes.
