About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit is grown in mountain vineyards at Serra-Ozzanos, in the countryside around Monti (Orancia), at 500–600 m above sea level. The soil is particularly loose, and the site has a favourable microclimate.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand into small crates. Maceration and fermentation take place at a controlled temperature.

Ageing

The wine rests for several months in 700 L oak barrels.

Label / history

“Donosu” is a Gallurese expression wishing good fortune and literally means “full of gifts.”
