About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
Carignano comes from vertical-shoot-positioned vineyards in the lower Sulcis. The generally medium-textured soils contain clay, sand and limestone.
Grapes
Carignano.
Vinification
The grapes are picked by hand between August and September, then destemmed and crushed. They remain in contact with the skins for a few hours before gentle pressing separates the free-run must from the skins. Vinification then proceeds as for a white wine.
Tasting profile
Bright pink with copper highlights. Elegantly fruity aromas evoke small forest berries and strawberry, accompanied by elderflower. The palate is harmonious, lively and spirited, with medium persistence.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 10–12 °C. Suitable for aperitifs and starters, as well as cured meats, cheeses, seafood dishes, pasta or other first courses, and lean meat.
