OUR WINES

NURAGUS LA GIARA

NURAGUS DI CAGLIARI
Denominazione di Origine Controllata

Colour: Straw yellow light greenish hues

"We''ll tell you..."

...Nuragus is among the oldest grape varieties introduced to Sardinia by the Phoenicians. Its adaptability and generous productivity have allowed it to spread widely in our territories, where for decades, it was the most widely grown grape variety. The vineyards, aged between 30 and 60 years, are cultivated on limestone, hilly, and partly mountainous soils. The harvest, to allow a greater accumulation of sugars and terpenes, takes place in the first decade of October. In the winery, the grapes undergo a soft pressing and after a natural cold settling, the flower of the must ferments at low temperatures to preserve and enhance the original characteristics of the grape.

"We'll tell you..."

...the Vermentino grapes come from the vocated wine-growing areas of the central-western territory of Sardinia. Some ripen on the sands of Arcidano, cradled by the sea breeze that gives them unique aromas and a marked saltiness. The remaining grapes are instead cultivated on the gentle hills of Marmilla, on marl soils, white and dry, which give us its characteristic long and dry taste. From this special combination, after a cold maceration for thirty-six hours and fermentation at low temperatures, Vermentino La Giara is born, a fresh sip of wine that accompanies us from the sea to the high hills of Sardinia.

"We'll tell you..."
...Semidano is one of the few native grape varieties of Sardinia. It is cultivated on just a few tens of total hectares, mainly in the territories of the municipalities of Mogoro and Sardara, from which our grapes come. Until a few decades ago it was used as a blending grape, mainly to enhance Nuragus. Thanks to its rediscovery and valorization, its pure vinification results in a wine that releases its typical salinity and a persistent freshness on the palate. The fermentation of Semidano La Giara is preceded by a short cold maceration of the skins, allowing the must to transform into an elegant and balanced wine.

Cultivation occurs in hilly, calcareous and clayey soils in which the grapes are harvested in the second half of September enjoying the maximum balance between acidity and sugar level. The winemaking is simple, with short macerations and fermentations that last on average ten days.

This native grape variety is famous for producing an intense and structured red wine. After pressing the grapes, fermentation process begins, followed by a short maceration of the skins. In the following spring the wine begins refinement in oak barrels, which, during the stay of approx nine months, transmit to our Bovale hints of spices and vanilla notes that enrich a wine typically structured and deep red in colour.

"We'll tell you..."
...this full-bodied red wine comes from a selection of the grapes coming from the longest-standing vineyards of Carignano which our members cultivate on the sands of Arcidano. These vineyards, that are about eighty years of age, are still processed with traditional methods and raised as sapling on ungrafted foot obtaining very low yields per hectare. The process of the winemaking starts in the cellar with a cold maceration that will release the characteristics of the grapes to the must. After the fermentation phase follows a week of post-fermentative maceration which precedes the racking. Once the winter is over the wine is moved into 500 liter oak tonneaux where a refinement of at least twelve months will follow. The result is a wine with strong personality, symbol of the sardinian terroir.
