About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards lie around Mogoro and neighbouring villages. Their predominantly loose soils are rich in limestone and partly sandy. The Mediterranean climate brings mild winters and hot summers; soil type is the main factor shaping the different expressions of Cannonau.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in late September. Fermentation lasts 10 days at 24 °C. The wine is bottled under sterile conditions using nitrogen pressure.

Ageing

The wine rests on fine lees in barriques for approximately two months, followed by three months in stainless-steel tanks.

Tasting profile

Elegant, approachable and aromatic, with a fruit-driven character.
