A pure expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, the Alghero Cabernet Riserva Marchese di Villamarina draws on fruit from one of the largest estates in Italy, planted on a flat expanse of land in the island's northwestern Nurra region. This wine historically represents one of Sardinia's premier Cabernet Sauvignons, but the fruit here feels a little under the weather in this humid vintage: The wine starts up with intensity, but ultimately does not go the distance. It shows dark fruit aromas with cassis and myrtle, followed by tobacco, smoke and licorice. This expression ages in equal parts new and neutral oak, and the results are somewhere between mid- and full-bodied, with a finish that is moderate in length. Some 40,000 bottles were made. This is a good near- to medium-term drinking option with a grilled marinated steak.

Sardinia is an Italian island located in the Mediterranean Sea. The island has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the Nuragic civilization that inhabited the island over 3,000 years ago. The island's unique terroir, with its hot and dry climate, rocky soil, and sea breezes, has led to the production of distinctive wines.

The most famous wine produced in Sardinia is Cannonau, a red wine made from the Grenache grape. Cannonau is known for its rich, full-bodied flavor and high alcohol content. Other red wines produced on the island include Carignano, Monica, and Bovale.

Sardinia also produces white wines, including Vermentino, a crisp and refreshing wine with citrus and floral notes. Nuragus is another white wine produced on the island, known for its light and delicate flavor.

In addition to wine, Sardinia is also known for its production of Mirto, a traditional liqueur made from the berries of the myrtle plant. Mirto is typically served as a digestif after a meal and has a sweet and herbal flavor.

Overall, Sardinia's unique terroir and long history of winemaking have led to the production of distinctive wines and spirits that are worth exploring.
