Description of the product
Sardinia’s best known red grape is Cannonau, a relative of the Granacha grape that originally came from Spain. The grape is grown all over this island, a special variety of what is generally known as grenache, producing explosive, potent wines. The great majority of the vineyards, and the highest-quality wines, are produced in a triangle that stretches along an idyllic coastline from Orosei to Bari Sardo, and into the wild mountainous interiors as far as Atzara.
Grape variety: 100% Cannonau. The most popular red grape variety in the island finds in the valley of Oristano a good distributional area thanks to the nearness of the sea and the mild climate, creating medium structured but very well-balanced, elegant wines with a good alcohol content.
Soil: Hilly, with medium-clayey texture, also rocky soils with good drainage.
Vineyard size: 15 ha
Training system: Spurred cordon.
Fertilizers: Natural organic.
Plant protection products: Traditional; sulphur and copper.
Weeding: Only mechanical.
Fermentation: Fermentation on skins. Maceration lasts 8/10 days and takes place at a controlled temperature around 24 °C.
Ageing: At least 12 months in first, second and third-passage durmast barriques, followed by a one-year refining in concrete vats and then in bottles until releasing.
