Wine Description:
Punica Montessu is a premium red wine produced by the renowned winery, Punica, located in the Sardinia region of Italy. The wine is made from a blend of local grape varieties, including Carignano, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Franc, grown in the vineyards surrounding the winery.
