Surrau Rosso

The Demuro family are native Sardinians and have practiced viticulture for generations. Growing up, Tino Demuro worked in the family vineyards with his 11 siblings, primarily making wine for their own consumption. In 2001 they decided to produce wine commercially and this is their flagship bottling, a red blend of Carignano 60%, Cannonau 30%, Muristellu (Bovale Sardo) 10%. This winery is from northern Sardinia in the rugged hills well suited for grape growing.  On the nose, this smells like a freshly cracked-open jar of blackberry jam. Rich and sweetly spiced, it shows ripe wild berry fruit notes propelled by juicy acidity. This tapers off with a pleasantly chewy sensation, and a subtle tinge of black licorice.
