Vinification
The vineyard is located in Jerzu and was entirely planted with the Cannonau grape. The harvest in this arid and hot climate begins in September and concludes in early October. The average age of the vines is at least 40 years. Fermentation takes place for one week, followed by an additional post-fermentation maceration period (tannin extraction) before the wine spends a month in steel barrels. Further complexity is achieved as the wine spends 12 months in tonneau (900-liter barrels), all of which are second or third use. After bottling, the wine rests for an additional 2 months in the bottle before finding its way to the consumer.
