Let me introduce you to the Amanera Batch 99 from Tenuta Tona, a wine that embodies the soul of Sardinia. This isn't just another bottle; it's a story poured into glass, a testament to the passion, courage, and unwavering dedication to the potential of this remarkable land.
Tenuta Tona, nestled in the heart of Sardinia, is where tradition meets innovation. This winery cherishes its roots, honoring the age-old traditions of winemaking while embracing modern techniques to craft wines of exceptional quality. Their Amanera Batch 99 is a prime example, showcasing the best of what the Cannonau grape can offer.
Cannonau, known as Grenache in other parts of the world, finds its most expressive form in Sardinia. The island's unique terroir, with its sun-drenched vineyards and mineral-rich soils, imparts distinct characteristics to the grape. Amanera Batch 99 is a celebration of this terroir, reflecting the rugged beauty and untamed spirit of Sardinia.
On the palate, Amanera Batch 99 is a symphony of flavors. Imagine ripe red berries mingling with earthy undertones and a hint of spice. The wine is dry, with a full body and velvety tannins that caress the palate. It has a lingering finish that leaves you wanting more.
With an alcohol percentage of 14.5%, this wine has a great and warm feeling, perfect for a relaxed evening. To fully appreciate its complexity, serve it at around 18°C. And because it is very young, it is recommended to let it rest for 15 minutes after you opened the bottle.
This versatile red pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. Consider it alongside hearty meat dishes like roasted lamb, grilled steak, or game. It also complements flavorful pasta dishes, aged cheeses, and even some spicy dishes. For a truly authentic pairing, try it with Sardinian specialties like malloreddus (small Sardinian pasta) with sausage ragu or roasted suckling pig.
But this isn't just about the taste; it's about the experience. Opening a bottle of Amanera Batch 99 is like embarking on a journey to Sardinia. It's about savoring the flavors of the island, feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin, and connecting with the passion of the people who crafted this wine. This wine is more than a drink; it's an invitation to experience the magic of Sardinia.
And you can enjoy all of this for around 249 DKK. An absolutely fair price to have a piece of Sardina at your home.
