Sa Raja Cannonau di Sardegna
Sa Raja Cannonau di Sardegna - ‘Inkibi’ Sa Raja Cannonau di Sardegna is from a single vineyard in Romangia in northwest Sardinia, an area renowned for high quality Cannonau (Grenache).
Perfumed berry and bramble aromas, and a palate combining fleshy red fruit, fine tannins, bright acidity and a delicate savoury character. Perfect with pasta in a lamb ragù.
The 100% Cannonau grapes are sourced from relatively low-lying vineyards in the Romangia area. Soils are shallow and range from clay to sand. Grapes are typically hand-harvested at the start of September, and are then destemmed and macerated for 14 days with regular pumping over. Fermentation is in stainless steel at 22-28ºC, and malolactic fermentation takes place too. The wine spends 2 months on fine lees with batonnage, then a further 4 months in stainless steel, before being released after 2 months in bottle.
