PATRICK GAUNT, OPERATIONS MANAGER OF SPECIALIST WINE COMPANY<br />

ITAL SARDO, SHOWCASES SOME STANDOUT SARDINIAN RED WINES<br />

Being able to personally source and supply our<br />

customers with exclusive wines from Italy is a huge<br />

pleasure to be a part of. Each wine has been personally<br />

sourced by myself. I have shaken the hand of each<br />

winemaker, bringing the local treasure of Sardinia to<br />

our clients.<br />

Our range of reds are a variety of rich and bold wines,<br />

to fruity and spicy numbers. A lot of this is down to<br />

the blending, with most Sardinian wines blended with<br />

Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah, having a more rounded<br />

feel. All wines that are 100 per cent of a specific variety<br />

are what we have found in being the ‘perfect example’<br />

of that type of wine. Here are some fantastic examples<br />

of our diverse range:<br />

Reds to be social with:<br />

Cagnulari, Chessa – An exclusive<br />

wine, that provides an excellent dark<br />

cherry nose with a velvety liquorice<br />

finish. There is a sense of richness, but<br />

the pleasant balance of this wine makes<br />

it very easy to be enjoyed on its own.<br />

The perfect way to round off your day.<br />

Rich in history:<br />

Giuseppe Sedilesu – A winemaker<br />

of tradition and pride. We<br />

were informed of the techniques<br />

used by Giuseppe Sedilesu<br />

when asking around with the<br />

local people, on the search for<br />

hidden gems. This wine, named<br />

after the wine-maker himself,<br />

is only produced after a perfect<br />

year, showing how passionate<br />

the producer is to create the<br />

best he can. This is 100 per<br />

cent Cannonau (which is said to<br />

increase longevity), aged in oak<br />

and then in the bottle. This wine<br />

really is a great example of the<br />

result of hard work and tradition.<br />

Without bombarding our trusted readers with wines,<br />

we are aiming to spread the work of Ital Sardo and<br />

provide our clients with the best wines that we can get<br />

our hands on. With wine tastings on the horizon, we<br />

invite all those interested to visit our website at<br />

www.italsardo.com. As well as this, please do not<br />

hesitate to contact myself, Patrick Gaunt, on<br />

01283 711588 with any questions or requests.<br />

Wines that work wonders<br />

with food:<br />

Geo, Tenute Delogu – Here is a wine<br />

from our debut shipment, a blend of<br />

Cannonau, Cabernet Sauvignon and<br />

Syrah. This blend creates an incredibly<br />

warming effect, lightened by spice. A red<br />

of this stature is best enjoyed with what<br />

I call ‘slow cooker style’ food. Meaty<br />

dishes that have a rich, earthy taste like<br />

braised lamb shanks.<br />
