Product Notes

Cantina Santadi Carignano del Sulcis Grotta Rossa is an exquisite Italian wine hailing from Sardinia's south-western coast. Renowned for its evocative ruby-red hue and robust body, it seamlessly blends the rich flavours of ripe, red fruits and hints of aromatic spices, providing an elegant, velvety finish. This wine is meticulously crafted from the Carignano grape, matured to perfection in a mixture of old Slavonian oak and French barriques. Its vibrant acidity and refined tannins create a harmonious balance, making it a suitable companion for robust, flavourful dishes. Savour a sip of Santadi Grotta Rossa for a truly captivating Italian wine experience.

Tasting Notes

Mature, gamey nose, almost Pinot in style but the palate is fuller and serious. Delicate violet notes on the nose followed by attractive, violet fruit. Delicately made. Toffee smells on the nose and a pleasant palate with slightly ageing fruit and interesting flavour of mushroom on the finish. Complex, deep and delicious blend of tarry blackcurrant fruit with underlying richness of dried fig.
