Tasting note

Vibrant and approachable, with aromas of ripe red cherries, juicy plum and wild berries, complemented by subtle Mediterranean herbs and a touch of spice. The palate is smooth and generous, offering supple tannins, fresh acidity and a savoury, earthy undertone. A balanced, fruit-driven red with a clean, lingering finish that reflects the sun-soaked character of Sardinia.

Viticulture

100% Carignano grown in the lower Sulcis region of southwestern Sardinia, where sandy, clay-rich and calcareous soils meet a warm Mediterranean climate. Vines are trained using bush-vine and trellised systems, with hand-harvesting from September to October to ensure optimal ripeness.

Vinification

Grapes undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel for approximately 15 days, with maceration and frequent pump-overs to extract colour, flavour and tannins. The wine matures for several months in concrete tanks before bottling, preserving its vibrant fruit, smooth structure and characteristic liquorice finish.

Food Match

Ideally with spicy meat and fish dishes, matured cheeses and game.
