Carignano del Sulcis Doc | 2017
Download Technical Data SheetHarvest and year description
The harvest began in mid-September, one week ahead of the usual. 2017 was a year of great drought in Sardinia and especially in the south of the island, where the heat was high throughout the summer and did not rain for months. However, thanks to the proximity of the sea, the evening and night temperatures have been mild and this allowed a healthy maturation of the grapes that have donated a wine with strong balsamic notes that characterize a great year.
Vinification
Careful selection of grapes, hand-picked in small boxes. Peeling of the bunches and subsequent breey flesh. Fermentation in steel tanks at controlled temperatures 26-28 °C. Replacements and repeated delestages ensure a good extraction of aromatic and pigment components.
Refinement
Storage in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature and then aging at least 6 months in the bottle. Production: 4000 bottle.
Tasting notes
Ruby red color. Rich and persistent, fruity bouquet with elegant balsamic notes of Mediterranean scrub typical of the production territory. Warm and savory with the presence of sublte and balanced tannins.
