| Origin |
Vineyards near the coast in the lower Sulcis. |
| Climate |
Hot and dry summers, mild Winters. |
| Soil composition |
Sandy and clayey soils, poor in organic matter. |
| Cultivation system |
Erect shrub cultivation, ungrafted rootstock (Latin vineyard). |
| Harvest |
By hand, starting in late September and ending around mid October. |
| Vinification |
After stemming and crushing, the grapes are fermented and macerated for 12-14 days in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature of 25-28 °C. During this period, the must is frequently pumped up, thus fully absorbing the noble tannins typical of bush-grown carignano. |
| Ageing |
After malolactic fermentation, the wine is transferred to small, fine grained 1st and 2nd-passage French oak casks for 10-12 months, to further develop its biochemical and chemical-physical properties, aroma and taste. Further ageing in the bottle for several months enables early bouquet development. |
| Pairing |
It matches red meats, wild boar, roast suckling pig and mature Pecorino cheese. |
