October 10, 2016 - Last bottle. Juicy and tasty Carignano. Time has eased tannins and perfectly balanced acidity. Nose tastes some smoke and ripe plums and red berries. At the mouth notes of licorice and pencil, with soft tannins. Velvety and tasty, round and complex. Top Carignano

December 26, 2015 - powerful and rich Carignano from Sardegna. Live red at the eye, nose tastes some smoke, first, and then ripe plums and red berries. At the mouth licorice and pencil, with soft tannins and educated acidity. Still youthful. My opinion is that it could be at its apogee for the next two years if well cellared. Thru the fog PD sharing

May 29, 2015 - perfectly executed Carignano del Sulcis with chocolate, pencil, sweet liquorice, some vanilla and an oaky backbone. Rouded tannins and juicy taste. Drink up

February 21, 2015 - tasted with the mouth clean (only some brown bread) this carignano expresses all its marvellous complex taste of elegant oak and ripe plums blackberries, blueberries, juniper berries. Mouth is very rich, with chocolate, pencil and some balsamic notes. Tannins are round and smoothed resulting in a juicy, silky, velvety and extremely pleasant wine. Perfect drinking window but don't wait.
