Pusole, Karamare Ogliastra IGT (2024) – Sardinia

£33.00

THE GRAPE
Pusole takes local Sardinian white grape Cannonau Bianco and let it speak slowly, with skin contact, wild fermentations and all the patience the island asks for.Karamare comes from Ogliastra, where the vines grow with the sea not far away and the wind never really stops.

THE WINE
Karamare glows golden in the glass and opens with yellow peach, citrus peel, dried flowers, Mediterranean herbs and that lovely touch of honeyed fruit that makes you lean in for another sip. Then comes the grip — a savoury, almost salty texture, some spice, a bit of almond skin, and a long finish that feels both sunny and serious. It’s the kind of wine that starts a conversation and then quietly steals the whole evening.

FOOD PAIRING
Try it with aged cheeses, roast pork, grilled fish, vegetable dishes with depth, or just good bread and olive oil when the sun is out and nobody wants to rush.


THE WINEMAKER
The Pusole family make wines with a very clear idea: Sardinia first, fashion second. They work with restraint, respect and a proper sense of place, and Karamare is one of those bottles that tells you everything about the island without needing to shout.
