Albóri di Làmpata

Vineyard and terroir

Albóri di Làmpata is made from rigorously selected grapes grown in estate-owned vineyards facing the mistral. The vines are trained using the spurred-cordon system, and the reported yield is 45–50 quintals per hectare.

Grapes

100% Syrah. The first vintage was produced in 2009, under the IGT Isola dei Nuraghi designation.

Vinification

Harvest takes place between late September and early October. Fermentation and maceration are conducted in stainless-steel tanks for three weeks.

Ageing

The wine matures for 12 months before bottling. It is released in a very small quantity and has high ageing potential.

Tasting profile

Deep red with violet reflections. The nose combines black-skinned fruit, blackberry, sour cherry, liquorice and violet with notes of black pepper. The palate has pronounced aromatic complexity, developing balsamic nuances of myrtle and Mediterranean scrub alongside jam, coffee, leather and date.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 15–16 °C.

Label / history

The name means “June dawn.” The wine is presented as an enveloping, complex and elegant interpretation of Syrah.
