is a rosé wine obtained from Cannonau grapes from a vineyard of about 40 years of age, located in the Municipality of Badesi (SS) in the north of Sardinia, in an area better known as Gallura.
Since the vineyard is just a few hundred meters from the sea and Le Dune beach, the soil on which it was planted is composed exclusively of silica sand. For its management, neither fertilizers nor fertilizers of chemical derivation have ever been used.
The harvest took place in the early morning hours of 12 September 2022, manually pruning the bunches and placing them in plastic boxes weighing never more than 9 kg. Once transferred to the cellar with refrigerated vehicles, the grapes were destemmed and softly pressed, leaving the must in contact with the skins for about 8 hours.
Fermentation was carried out in steel tanks at a controlled temperature using spontaneous yeasts and lasted 15 days; the wine obtained was aged until March and, once filtered, it was bottled in April.
Data sheet:

Visual examination:
clear wine with a beautiful intense pink color with tending reflections
with orange juice (onion peel). In the glass it is consistent and flowing, with wide arches and thin tears.
Olfactory examination:
the nose is immediately interesting, with aromas reminiscent of petals
rose, violet, jasmine. A very fine balsamic and light plum scent closes the aromatic department. Slightly perceptible alcohol.
Tasting exam:
in the mouth it is pleasant, fresh, slightly sapid, balanced, with
a very slight tannin in line with the structure of the wine. The good acidity, combined with a discreet minerality, give this wine a satisfying but undemanding drink.
Overall examination:
elegant, fine, tasty, harmonious wine. Ideal companion in
spring and summer evenings.
Gourmet match:
seafood appetizers of the Sardinian tradition and based on
tomato, sautéed mussels and clams. Fish soups, fregola with shellfish or clams. Perfect match with bluefin tuna and poultry dishes. Must try with fresh grilled Sardinian pecorino cheese and carasau bread.
