Sardegna- The Italian island of Sardegna is the second largest in the Mediterranean Sea, following Sicily. The capital city is Sardinia. Sardina is home to the Vermentino variety and hosts the DOCG Vermentino di Gallura. Also produced in Sardegna is the Moscato di Tempio DOC, Malvasia di Bosa DOC, Cannonau (Grenache) DOC, Vernaccia di Oristano DOC, Nuragus di Cagliari DOC, Monica di Cagliari DOC, Carignano del Sulcis DOC, as well as the Nebbiolo, Torbato, and Nepente di Oliena varieties. The soils are rich in granite, limestone, sandstone, as well as mineral rich clays, free-draining sands and gravels. The Mediterranean Sea provides cooler temperatures in Sardinia viticulture. It is said the culture on the island is nowhere near as wine-oriented as mainland Italy. The island displays influences from neighboring Spain more so than Italy. The effects are reflected in their wines and grape varieties.

Review:
"A fragrant and spicy Chateauneuf that marries richness and structure with finesse and fascination. The fine tannins build beautifully at the self-confidently dry finish, where spicy and chalky elements mingle beautifully, with just a hint of milk chocolate neatly accenting this. A complex blend based on grenache. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold."

Hailing from over two dozen vineyards across the beautiful Golden State, the Turley Juvenile is more of a clear bellwether for a vintage than any other wine we make. Fragrant, lifted aromas of ripe dark fruits like black raspberry and blood orange on the nose. Superb balance between acidity, tannin, and spice, with a succulent, profoundly satisfying texture.
Review:
"Brimming with verve, offering fresh flavors and aromas of black cherry, raspberry, briar patch and savory pepper that end with snappy tannins. Drink now through 2033. 20,000 cases made.—T.F."
