Soil composition |
Clayey with high ferrous content and geological variety. |
Harvest |
Harvest period in late Autumn in sunny and windy Alghero. The grapes are harvested after their initial herbaceous character has faded. |
Vinification |
The harvested grapes are destemmed, crushed for 4-5 days and macerated at a temperature of 15°C. Fermentation takes place at 20°C for about 3 weeks, followed by malolactic fermentation, which is completed by Autumn. |
Ageing |
Towards the end of the Winter, the wine undergoes its initial 18-month ageing in Bordeaux 'carats' of tronçais oak, and is then placed in traditional barrels of larger capacity for a further 12 months. After bottling, there is a final period of ageing in dark cellars at a temperature of 16°C for at least 18 months. |
Pairing |
It pairs well with red meats, seasoned game, game, braised meat and cheeses. It is also perfect to be enjoyed by itself. |
