Samas Isola dei Nuraghi
Sardinia, Italy
About the Wine
In 2002, Agricola Punica purchased a 370-acre estate divided between two vineyard sites, Barrua and Narcao, located in Sardinia’s southwest, in an area known as Sulcis Meridionale. Though the vineyards lie within the DOC of Carignano del Sulcis, the wine falls under the IGT of Isola dei Nuraghi, which refers to the island’s ancient stone structures.
Samas is named after the God of the Sun. Vermentino and Chardonnay grapes grown in a predominantly calcareous and sandy soil are hand harvested at dawn to maintain characteristic varietal notes and freshness.
Bright straw yellow in color with green hints, this crisp and well-balanced wine has notes of citrus with Mediterranean herbs such as sage, and a long mineral-saline finish.
