In the cellar we proceeded with the destemming and crushing of the grapes and once the maceration was completed, which lasted 12 days with frequent pumping over, the wine was transferred to steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The vinification continued for about 18 months in the same containers with frequent bâtonnage and then proceeded with bottling in April 2020.
Data sheet:
Product type:
Cannonau di Sardegna DOC, Red 2018
Visual examination:
clear wine with a beautiful intense but not concentrated ruby red color, typical
of the Cannonau grape worked in purity. In the glass it is consistent and flowing, with abundant and narrow tears that denote the alcohol content of the product.
Olfactory examination:
the nose is immediately interesting, with aromas reminiscent of
raspberry, plum, pink pepper, dog rose. A very fine balsamic and light vanilla scent closes the aromatic department. Slightly perceptible alcohol.
Tasting Exam:
in the mouth it is fruity, warm, soft, balanced, with tannins
moderate and fine in line with the structure of the wine. Marked acidity and minerality give freshness and dampen the impressive alcoholic structure making it elegant and easy to drink.
Overall examination:
wine rich in taste, complex but not demanding, caressing,
harmonic. Its “young” character suggests that it will be a very long-lived wine, which will be increasingly appreciable in the years to come.
Gourmet match:
all traditional Sardinian land appetizers e
Mediterranean, such as cured meats, pickles and patés. First courses with red game sauces, grilled meat and spit-roasted Sardinian suckling pig. Perfect with semi-mature Pecorino Sardo DOP cheese and Carasau or Guttiau bread.
