Red wine of typical Sulcis grapes with a modest addition of French varieties vinified in purity from the spurred cordon vineyards grown in Basso Sulcis in our Narcao and Barrua farms.
Soils tend to be of medium texture, clay-like, sandy and calcareous
85% native - 15% French
Hot-dry in summer, temperate in winter.
Manual harvest, which begins in early September and ends in the first half of October.
The must ferments with the skins at a temperature between 25° and 28°C in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for a period of about 15 days. It is periodically pumped over to facilitate the extraction of the compounds present in the skins. Malolactic fermentation confers smoothness to the wine, which is then aged in French oak barrels for approximately 18 months. It then rests in glass for at least 6 months.
Technical notes: the quality of the red Sulcitane grapes, not only in terms of colour, but also for the smoothness of its soluble compounds - from the tannins to the consistently low and elegant acidity and the smoothness of its main components. Its polyphenolic apparel is of a distinguishably sweet, extremely delicate, round tannin weave chromatically embroidered with refined anthocyanins.
Colour: lively, deep ruby-red; nature's gift.
Perfume: complex scent of ripe red fruit (mainly black cherry), spices, notes of liquorice and hints of myrtle.
Flavour: an elegant wine that shows an impeccable workmanship; notes of sage and myrtle with aromas of ripe red fruits and pepper in a persistent and harmonious finish.
