About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the Mamoiada region and is harvested from young vines aged 3–15 years.

Vinification

Spontaneous fermentation and maceration are followed by separation of the free-run juice without pressing. The wine undergoes light filtration before bottling.

Ageing

The wine matures for 12 months in 225 L oak or chestnut barrels, followed by at least one month in bottle.

Tasting profile

Gently saline in character, with a balanced interplay of tannins, acidity and alcohol.

Label / history

Giuseppe Sedilesu was founded by Giuseppe and Grazia Sedilesu 35 years before the source description was written. After selling its grapes to other producers for many years, the family began making wine under its own name in 2000. Production doubled over the following decade, during which a new cellar was built. The estate is now managed by the founders’ three children and their families: Antonietta and her husband Emilio, Francesco and his wife Rosa, and Salvatore and his wife Mariella. Giuseppe and Grazia have 13 grandchildren.

The winery is a member of the administrative council of the Consorzio di Tutela del DOC Cannonau di Sardegna and participates in the “La Strada del vino Cannonau” project.
