VINEYARDS
Located in Ittiri, northwest Sardinia, on a gentle south-facing slope at altitudes ranging from 200 to 300 meters above sea level. The training system is Guyot, with a planting layout of 2.5m x 1m. Average yields per hectare are around 70 quintals. No chemical fertilizers are used, only composted organic matter. The soil is worked mechanically.

SOIL
Predominantly limestone.

VINIFICATION AND AGING
Harvesting is done manually, and maceration on the skins lasts approximately 12 days, with frequent pump-overs. After an initial aging in stainless steel, the wine is transferred to tonneaux for about one year, followed by an additional 6-8 months of bottle aging before release.

DESCRIPTION
A typical Sardinian red wine, it displays a bright ruby-red color with violet reflections. The nose reveals intense and refined aromas of wild red fruits, such as blackberry and raspberry, accompanied by jammy notes, delicate floral hints, and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, with a well-defined tannic structure that harmonizes with its softness, making it particularly elegant. Perfect for pairing with a variety of traditional island dishes, especially flavorful pasta dishes, braised meats, and medium-aged cheeses.
