Poderi Parpinello 'Carbia' Isola dei Nuraghi 2024

Carbia takes its name from the ancient Roman road that connected the cities of Carbia and Nure along the Alghero coast of Sardinia. Poderi Parpinello is a family estate with 35 hectares of vineyards spread across three distinct locations — by the sea near Castelsardo, near the coast by Lake Baratz, and in the municipality of Janna de Mare between Alghero and Sassari. The geographical diversity of the vineyards, combined with sixty years of family experience, gives the wines their unique freshness, structure, and minerality.
