BARRUA

ISLE OF SARDINIA

Barrua is a powerful yet elegant Sardinian red, crafted primarily from Carignano with small additions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Deep ruby in color, it opens with expressive aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry layered with notes of licorice, Mediterranean herbs, black pepper, and subtle oak spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, offering rich dark fruit flavors balanced by polished tannins, lively acidity, and a long, harmonious finish marked by hints of myrtle and spice

While red wine and seafood can sometimes be challenging partners, Barrua's smooth tannins and vibrant acidity make it an excellent match for a rich Shrimp Vodka Pasta. The wine's ripe fruit and spice complement the sweet, delicate flavor of the shrimp, while its structure stands up beautifully to the creamy tomato-based vodka sauce. Notes of black cherry, herbs, and pepper echo the savory elements of the dish, creating a pairing that is both luxurious and balanced. The acidity of the wine helps cut through the richness of the sauce, cleansing the palate and inviting another bite.
