The 2006 Carignano del Sulcis Superiore Arruga is a pretty, mid-weight wine laced with fragrant red fruits, roses, spices, French oak and sweet herbs. This soft-textured Carignano finishes with a round, harmonious close. As good as this is, I can’t help thinking something more should be possible from these pre-phylloxera vineyards. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2016.
