Score 91/100 · Drink 2013-2018, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jun 2011

The 2008 Carignano del Sulcis Riserva Rocca Rubia is rich, deep and powerful. Layers of dark fruit meld into earthiness, leather and licorice in this intense Carignano. Although initially a bit rustic, the Rocca Rubia turns more elegant with time in the glass.

The 2008 Carignano del Sulcis Riserva Rocca Rubia is rich, deep and powerful. Layers of dark fruit meld into earthiness, leather and licorice in this intense Carignano. Although initially a bit rustic, the Rocca Rubia turns more elegant with time in the glass. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018. From top to bottom this is an impressive set of wines from Shardana. One of the developments here in recent years has been an increasing reliance in cement over stainless steel for the whites Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
