Description

Sommelier Randall Calderón Chacón’s Comments: Agrícola Púnica is one of the most famous names in Italian wine production. The predominant Carignano variety in this noble wine invites enjoyment. Barrua is the name of the vineyard located in a warm climate zone of Sardinia ‘Sulcis Meridionale’, which is very beneficial especially for this variety. Ultimately, a wine for connoisseurs and lovers of the most exclusive.
