Capichera 2011 Assajè Red (Isola dei Nuraghi)

Country: Italy / Assajè
Variety: Red Blend Sicily & Sardinia
Winery: Capichera / Isola dei Nuraghi

A blend of 90% Carignano and 10% Syrah, this offers aromas of steeped plum, scorched soil, peppercorn and eucalyptus. The bold, full-bodied palate delivers black cherry marinated in spirits, fig, ground pepper and licorice alongside tightly laced, fine-grained tannins.
