3 | Wine | Red, Sardinia

"Another striking, entry-level wine, the 2010 Isola dei Nuraghi Costera caresses the palate with juicy dark cherries, plums, tobacco, spices and licorice. Elements of sweetness, inner perfume and pure silkiness distinguish the Costera from the vast majority of its peers. A hint of sweet flowers and mint lingers on the finish."

"Ruby red. Intense with sweet notes of ripe red fruit reminiscent of Maraschino cherries under spirits; lightly spiced. Powerful and warm wine that is soft and intense in the mouth with persistent aromas; balanced with developed structure and nuanced layers that can be attributed to its rich terroir. Pairs well with fatty fish such as tuna or swordfish, fish pastas in red sauce, lamb ribs with herbs and grilled pork."
