Typical Geographical Indication Barbagia Rosso

Description

The color is ruby red and the wine has a fruity aroma with hints of red fruit,
of blackberries and plums; the flavour is well structured, harmonious and persistent.

Production area

The grapes come from the valleys of Locoe and Sorasi and from the high lands of “Sa Lacana”, in the Orgosolo countryside. The small vineyards, nestled on gentle hills, are cultivated directly by the members and, thanks to the healthiness of the places, require limited anti-parasitic interventions.

Grape variety

Red grapes from different local varieties.

Breeding method

The small vineyards allow for meticulous control of the plants and the training, using saplings and spurred cordons, is geared towards quality.

Winemaking

The grapes, hand-picked, are delivered immediately after the harvest. In the cellar they are subjected to very soft pressing with destemming. Spontaneous fermentation in steel at a controlled temperature.

Refinement

In concrete barrels for a minimum of six months, rest in bottle

Alcohol content

14.5%

Serving temperature

16-18°C

Pairing
