Decanter World Wine Awards 2024 Silver
A Sardinia classic, fruit for Terre Brune is sourced from old, traditionally-trained bush vines grown in clay and sandy soils in the Sulcis region. Yields are as little as 1.5kg per vine, but the flavours in the grapes are super concentrated. This leads to a wine of terrific black fruit and spice intensity on both the nose and palate, with smooth, plump, plushy, velvety tannins. All of this is enhanced by finely-judged use of oak barrels, that add extra dimensions of complexity. Impressive drinking now and over the next 7-8 years.

Winemaking
Vinification is in stainless steel vats with skin maceration, at around to 25° - 28°C, with frequent pumping over to extract maximum colour and flavour. The maceration is concluded within 15-16 days then the malolactic fermentation is started as early as possible and continues into December. The wine is then transferred into new French barriques to age for between 16 and 18 months where the ripe tannins soften and harmonise with the wine into a silky structure. There is a light fining before bottling but no filtration, and the wine then ages for at least a year in bottle at 14°C.
Our Expert Food Recommendation
Pairs beautifully with red meat, game and full flavoured cheese. Served between 18 and 20°C, try it with teriyaki pork chops and Thai vegetables, pan-seared filet mignon with roasted potatoes and Merlot sauce or a grilled sirloin steak with anise- ba sil butter.
