Cannonau Dimonios Riserva 2022

Description

Cannonau Riserva Dimonios is a strong and decisive wine that tells the story of Sardinian tradition, emphasizing key values such as the generosity of the people and a sense of belonging. A proud story produced by the Sella e Mosca winery in Alghero, in Sassari, which results in this still red DOC wine from Sardinia, made with the Sardinian grape par excellence: Cannonau (100%). The grape variety from which this Sardinian wine of remarkable firmness and decisiveness is obtained is grown in warm, sandy soils located on the hills south of Mount Limbara in Gallura. The final phase of grape cultivation, the harvest, takes place around mid-October, only after complete polyphenolic ripening. Once the harvest is complete, the cold maceration process begins to extract the aromas and all the coloring substances contained in the skins. This maceration process involves the absence of fermentation, which is why it is called pre-fermentation. Only after this is the temperature gradually increased until reaching 28-30°C in the final stage. The entire production process concludes with refinement, the phase in which the wine is aged to enhance its organoleptic characteristics. In the case of Cannonau Riserva Dimonios, this occurs in two stages: for about a year, the wine is aged in classic Slavonian oak barrels; subsequently, a final phase of refinement in the bottle is planned, after which the product is ready for consumption.
