About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are harvested across all of Surrau’s vineyards in Gallura, at the northern tip of Sardinia, a landscape of granite rocks exposed to Mistral winds.

Vinification

Fermentation takes place exclusively in stainless steel tanks to preserve the grape’s vibrant character.

Ageing

The wine ages exclusively in stainless steel, without contact with wood.

Tasting profile

Aromatic, fresh and pure, it is lighter and more summery than “Branu” while retaining the classic character of Gallura.

Label / history

“Limizzani” is the name of a mystical place associated with the ancient Mediterranean civilizations that inhabited the region thousands of years ago.
