The barrique-aged Is Solinas, which was vinified for the first time as a Riserva from 100% Carignano in the 2014 vintage, is remarkable. Deep red in colour, an independent, delicately spicy bouquet, hints of red fruit and balsamic notes. The palate reveals an astonishing fullness of extract, dense, soft, harmonious, complex and long-lasting. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark, ruby-red centre with a brightening rim. Warm and inviting on the nose with savoury fruit of plums and cranberries, plus black olive paste. The fruit also takes centre stage on the palate, with firm tannins, juicy and fresh through to the finish." Falstaff

"Lively and silky, this juicy red reveals a beam of raspberry coulis flavours. Finely balanced, with good weight and focus on the palate, yet light on its feet. It offers an underpinning of fresh loamy earth and details of dried lavender, milk chocolate, ground aniseed and pepper that add complexity and linger on the finish." Wine Spectator

"Slate and dried berries with undertones of walnut, bark and mushrooms. Full-bodied and multi-layered with plenty of fruit and intensity. Juicy tannins and chewy texture, but it's polished and very pretty. Better in a year or two, but already excellent now." James Suckling
