Cannonau Basca 2021 Pedra Niedda 75 cl

Description

History

The Sardinian Pedra Niedda company, founded by the Florentine wine agronomist Enrico Menicalli and the tourist manager Susanna Atzori, has recovered her family’s uncultivated vineyards and planted the native Cannonau and Semidano vines. Tittia, their white wine, is produced with Semidano grapes and has a large and enveloping bouquet, while Basca, their red wine, is produced with Cannonau grapes and presents notes of Sardinian Mediterranean scrub such as myrtle, juniper, rosemary and laurel. Both wines are characterized by freshness, taste-olfactory complexity and salinity.

Grapes used

Cannonau 100%

Production method

The alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel for ten days at a temperature of 26° C. Pumping over or punching down is carried out every day to ensure good extraction of the aromatic and coloring components.

The wine is aged 80% in steel and the remaining 20% ​​in French oak tonneaux. After six months we proceed with the blending of the two masses, a brief passage in steel for another two months completes the refinement period in the cellar.

Alcohol content

14%
