From Cantina Santadi in Sardinia’s Sulcis region, Rocca Rubia blends the intensity of Carignano with extended aging to deliver depth, structure, and long-term appeal. This Riserva benefits from extended oak aging for depth and complexity, resulting in a balanced, robust profile with structured tannins and preserved acidity that support aging potential.

90 Points
"The 2018 Carignano del Sulcis Rocca Rubia impresses more for purity than

power, presenting a display of sweet florals, crushed stone, bright cherry

and hints of flowery undergrowth. It’s silky in texture, lifted by vibrant

acidity, with tart wild berry fruits and saline-minerals giving way to violet

tones toward the close. A subtle coating of tannin lingers, framing the

experience nicely, as this tapers off with a bitter twang and hints of

licorice. The Rocca Rubia is very pretty and lightly structured, showing the

difficulties of the vintage while maintaining admirable balance.
