The 2011 Carignano del Sulcis Riserva Is Arenas is a beautifully delicate and nuanced red wine, especially where the aromas are concerned. You can almost feel the sandy nature of the beach-like soils thanks to the bouquet's saline and marine highlights. Beyond those drying mineral tones are pretty layers of wild berry and sour cherry. The mouthfeel shows slight bitterness backed by fresh acidity.
