Grassia Riserva Cannonau di Sardegna DOC

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in the Mamoiada region on granite soils. The local climate and soils promote concentrated colour and good structure in the fruit, while mineral salts in the soil contribute to its intense aroma.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand at the end of October. Spontaneous fermentation takes place at 20–34 °C, followed by 15–20 days of skin contact. The wine is bottled without filtration.

Ageing

The wine ages for at least 24 months in large, 40-hectolitre glass vessels, followed by at least six months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Serious and traditional in style, the wine is warm, concentrated and well structured, with balanced sweetness.

Label / history

Giuseppe and Grazia Sedilesu founded the family winery 35 years ago. After many years of selling its grapes to other producers, 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 run 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 serves on the governing board of the Consorzio di Tutela del DOC Cannonau di Sardegna and participates in the “La Strada del vino Cannonau” project.
