"Lianti" Rosso Isola dei Nuraghi IGT 2018

Let's start with the name: Liànti. In Sardinian, this term indicates the Levant, i.e. the East. The place where the sun rises. And it is towards the East that the vines from which the grapes used to produce this Liànti come. A blend of the main indigenous grape varieties, including Carignano, with Syrah, obtained from the selection of grapes from the youngest vineyards. Vinified in stainless steel, it is a straightforward red wine that, while expressing immediacy and freshness, reveals qualities of great quality. Produced since 2009, after vinification this red wine matures in steel and cement until it acquires a red colour with garnet hues. The nose is intense, with fruity and spicy notes. Then cinnamon, rhubarb, black fruit jelly and even mocha. In the mouth it is enveloping with sweet tones of ripe fruit and a fine tannicity. Good balance and pleasantness. A red wine with good character and a potential for medium/long ageing. Well stored in the cellar, protected from light and temperature changes, it is a wine that can easily continue to age for years. But, we are sure, it will be difficult to wait that long to uncork it. With a roast, a stew or a stew, there are plenty of occasions to appreciate it.
