This dry blend of Sciaccarellu and Niellucciu grapes is largely fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks, with a portion aged in used oak foudres for 12 months, resulting in a wine of remarkable depth. It offers lifted aromas of raspberries, red currants, and blackberries, complemented by hints of chocolate and lightly toasted oak. The palate reveals juicy black cherry and blackberry fruit, married with cinnamon spice and well-rounded tannins, leading to a complex and satisfying finish.

Winemaking
Upon arrival at the winery, the hand-harvested grapes were destemmed and gently crushed. 90% of the must was fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks, and the remainder was fermented in oak casks. Following 20 days of post-fermentation maceration, equal parts were aged for 12 months in concrete tanks and oak foudres respectively. The wine was blended and bottled without fining and with a light filtration.
