Galana Red IGT 2018

A mature and elegant international blend, 13 months in barriques and almost two years in bottle

If you are looking for an aged red wine of great elegance and softness, Galana Colli del Limbara IGT is the blend that will win you over with its enveloping roundness.

This skillful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Carignano and Cagnulari - which combines international Tuscan and native Sardinian grape varieties - is born from the granite soils of Monti in Gallura between 300 and 450 meters above sea level. Significant aging of 13 months in French oak barriques followed by almost a year and a half in bottle (about 30 months in total) results in a dark ruby red with notes of red fruit jam, vanilla and Mediterranean scrub, with a warm, soft and enveloping taste and good persistence.

• You appreciate mature and aged international blends
• You are looking for soft reds with long aging
• You love warm and enveloping wines
• You want to discover blends that combine different traditions
