Vin Agricola Punica

An undertaking between world renowned names in the winemaking business, Agricola Punica is a joint venture between Dr. Sebastiano Rosa, Sardinian winery Cantina Sociale di Santadi, Tenuta San Guido, Santadi President Antonello Pilloni and legendary Tuscan consulting oenologist Giacomo Tachis. The ties among these entities are many. In collaboration with Mario Incisa della Rocchetta and his son Nicoló, Giacomo Tachis was instrumental in the development of Sassicaia, the ground-breaking “Super Tuscan” wine produced at Tenuta San Guido since the 1960s. He continues to act as consultant with oenologist Sebastiano Rosa, Nicoló Incisa’s stepson, and will serve as the technical director for Agricola Punica. It was really Giacomo Tachis who thought about the the Sardinia and Carignano match and he persuaded all the others in order to produce a fantastic Carignano wine. In the 2002, Agricola Punica bought a 150 ha estate divided into two estates: Barrua and Narcao, situated in the south western zone of Sardinia, in an area knew as “Sulcis Meridionale”. At the moment the Punica Farm produces two great red wines, Barrua and Montessu, and a delicious white wine called Samas. All of them fall under the appellation I.G.T. Isola Dei Nuraghi, originating from tipical Sardinian grapes exceptionally blended with some French varietals.
