2009 Terre Brune

The 2009 Carignano del Sulcis Superiore Terre Brune delivers one of the best incarnations of this landmark wine from Sardinia. A small percentage of Bovaleddu grapes are added to this rich and succulent Carignano. Terre Brune is an extremely vintage sensitive wine that can taste gritty or rustic in challenging years. But this 2009 expression is remarkably smooth and supple with long freshness and fruit ripeness to add momentum. The wine has only just started its bottle evolution, so you can hold it for five years or more.
