About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from the winegrowers’ vineyards around Berchidda and Oschiri.
Grapes
A blend of Pascale, Bovale, Nieddu Mannu, Merlot, Cabernet and Sangiovese.
Vinification
The grapes are destemmed and crushed, then fermented with yeasts selected by the winery. Maceration lasts 10–13 days in stainless-steel vinifiers.
Ageing
The wine matures for 5–6 months in cement vats.
Technical data
Alcohol: 13% vol.
Tasting profile
A mature red colour with purple nuances. The aroma recalls the grapes themselves, accompanied by ripe fruit and jam. Warm, rounded and persistent on the palate, it has a fleshy ripe-grape quality and an aftertaste that reprises the aromas perceived on the nose.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 16–20 °C. Suitable throughout a meal and particularly well matched with red meats and medium-aged cheeses.
Label / history
The wine takes its identity from a Sardinian night filled with stars and auspicious imagery. Its name is linked to Pietro Casu’s Sardinian line “Notte de chelu est custa, dogni sinu de allegria bundare …”; the presentation characterises Nottechelu as dark as night and soft as silk.
