A tasty, entry-level offering, the 2009 Isola dei Nuraghi Alba Chia wraps around the palate with succulent, yellow peaches, spices and flowers. Some rough edges remain, but there is good generosity and complexity on the glass. Ideally, the 2009 needs to be enjoyed over the next year or two. It is a solid wine in its class. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2014. Feudi della Medusa stands out for rich, textured wines that at their best are among the most interesting wines readers will come across in Sardinia.
